“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’

See the chapter Copy

Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the Lord.

respect your father and your mother; and love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

As long as you are a nation, never do anything to help these nations or to make them prosperous.

You will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, which is found in the scripture, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

Be merciful to me, Lord, and restore my health, and I will pay my enemies back.

“You have heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not commit murder; anyone who does will be brought to trial.’

“Remember what the Amalekites did to you as you were coming from Egypt.

“No Ammonite or Moabite—or any of their descendants, even in the tenth generation—may be included among the Lord's people.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’

The command that Christ has given us is this: whoever loves God must love others also.
