bdelussomai describes abhorring something, shown in condemnation of idols and in a list of the detestable.

The two occurrences show abhorrence in relation to idols in Romans 2:22 and a perfect participial form among those described as detestable in Revelation 21:8; the latter connection is less precise.

   In Romans 2:22, the present middle participle occurs in the clause contrasting abhorring idols with despoiling temples; the APB renders the clause “while abhorring the idols you despoil temples.”

   Romans 2:22
2. Those marked as detestable · occasional

   In Revelation 21:8, the perfect middle participle appears within a list whose members receive a portion in the burning lake; the APB includes “the detestable” in that list. The specific English correspondence remains uncertain.

   Revelation 21:8

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders the Romans 2:22 clause with “abhorring the idols,” while Revelation 21:8 includes “the detestable” in its list. The precise contribution of the term in Revelation 21:8 is less certain.
