19A brother who is helped by a brother is like a reinforced city, and judgments are like the bars of cities.
15But if your brother has sinned against you, go and correct him, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have regained your brother. 16But if he will not listen you, invite with you one or two more, so that every word may stand by the mouth of two or three witnesses. 17And if he will not listen to them, tell the Church. But if he will not listen to the Church, let him be to you like the pagan and the tax collector.
3Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him. 4And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him.”
30But distribute to all who ask of you. And do not ask again of him who takes away what is yours.
23And when evil was spoken against him, he did not speak evil. When he suffered, he did not threaten. Then he handed himself over to him who judged him unjustly.
28Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who slander you. 29And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your coat, do not withhold even your tunic. 30But distribute to all who ask of you. And do not ask again of him who takes away what is yours. 31And exactly as you would want people to treat you, treat them also the same. 32And if you love those who love you, what credit is due to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33And if you will do good to those who do good to you, what credit is due to you? Indeed, even sinners behave this way.
21Then Peter, drawing near to him, said: “Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Even seven times?” 22Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times. 23Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants. 24And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25But since he did not have any way to repay it, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, in order to repay it. 26But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’
1Therefore, as most beloved sons, be imitators of God. 2And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and delivered himself for us, as an oblation and a sacrifice to God, with a fragrance of sweetness.
16Six things there are that the Lord hates, and the seventh, his soul detests: 17haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18a heart that devises the most wicked thoughts, feet running swiftly unto evil, 19a deceitful witness bringing forth lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
39But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil, but if anyone will have struck you on your right cheek, offer to him the other also. 40And anyone who wishes to contend with you in judgment, and to take away your tunic, release to him your cloak also. 41And whoever will have compelled you for one thousand steps, go with him even for two thousand steps. 42Whoever asks of you, give to him. And if anyone would borrow from you, do not turn away from him.
