how to treat your neighbor

³¹But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

²⁷But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.

¹²Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁸Do not seek revenge, neither should you be mindful of the injury of your fellow citizens. You shall love your friend as yourself. I am the Lord.

²⁵And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” ²⁶But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” ²⁷In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” ²⁸And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.” ²⁹But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” ³⁰Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.

⁴⁴But I say to you: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you.

¹⁴For the entire law is fulfilled by one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

⁸So if you perfect the regal law, according to the Scriptures, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” then you do well.

³⁰And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from your whole mind, and from your whole strength. This is the first commandment.’

³⁴I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also must you love one another.
