'Lover' in the Bible
The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.
The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners.
Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.
Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money;
But opening his house freely to guests; a lover of what is good, serious-minded, upright, holy, self-controlled;
You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.
