40. LORD’S DAY.

*105. What doth God require in the sixth command?

That neither in thoughts, nor words, nor gestures, much less in deeds, I dishonour, hate, wound, or kill my neighbour, by myself, or by another (Eph. 4;31), but that I lay aside all desire of revenge (Rom. 12;17, 19); also all desire of revenge (Rom. 12;17, 19); also that I hurt not myself, or wilfully expose myself to danger (Eph. 5;29). Wherefore also the magistrate is armed with the sword, to prevent murder (Rom. 13;4).

Eph. 4;31.—Let all bitterness, and wrath, and clamor, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.—Zech. 8;16, 17.—Matt. 5;22.—2 Sam. 12;9.—Ps. 15;1, 3.—Lev. 19;17.—Lev. 24;17.—Gen. 4;6.

Rom. 12;17, 19.—Recompense to no man evil for evil......Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lrod.—Lev. 19;18.

Eph. 5;29.—For no man ever yet hated his own flesh.—Matt. 4;7.
