Abolitionists are driven by a desire to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God (Micah 6:8). Abolitionists are not interested in merely abstaining from evil themselves, but are committed to exposing evil and bringing it into conflict with the truth of Christianity (Ephesians 5:11).
English belongs to the Germanic family of Indo-European languages. Old English (also known as Anglo-Saxon) had two main dialects. The Anglic dialect gave its name to the language, but the Saxon dialect eventually evolved into Modern English.
One unique characteristic of English is that it was originally a Germanic language that acquired so many words from Latin, mostly via Old French and Norman French, that it eventually became essentially a Romance language. Two thirds of words in modern English are of Romance origin. It retained this sense in other Romance languages, and came to mean sex of a human being in English only in the 20th century. 2  impair: from French empirer and Latin impejorare meaning 'get worse' or 'deteriorate'.
