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).
Old English came from proto-Germanic (the long-dead language that gave rise to today's Germanic languages) â¦ . Proto-Germanic came from proto-Indo-European, which is the ancestor of most of the languages spoken in Europe, India, and some nearby areas.
A significant influence on the shaping of Middle English came from contact with the North Germanic languages spoken by the Scandinavians who conquered and colonised parts of Britain during the 8th and 9th centuries; this contact led to much lexical borrowing and grammatical simplification.
