"Passion" is related to the word "passive," so the idea is one of being acted upon by another force. This is the sense in which we speak of the "Passion" of Christ, that is, His suffering for our sake. God, as deity, is "without passions," that is, there are no forces acting upon Him & making him suffer or act in a particular way. God's "emotions," such as they are, are fully self-determined, unlike human emotions.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
