Psalm 5:5
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity
Matthew 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity
Seems like the same people who he hates never knew him and are the ones going to hell. Also God has rejected people who are called reprobates:
Jeremiah 6:30
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
Romans 1:28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
I can't see any verse that suggest the comman saying of God hates the sin but not the sinner.
