respect of persons judgeth according to every one's work, converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here. Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly (i Pet. i. 15-22).
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself (Matt. xxii. 36-39).
Seventh Day
Charity is patient, is kind. Charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never falleth away (i Cor. xiii. 4-8).
I say to you: Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you; and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you, that you may be the children of your Father Who is in heaven.. Who maketh His sun to rise upon the good and bad, and raineth upon the just and unjust (Matt. v. 44, 45).
If you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences. But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences (Matt. vi. 14, 15).
If you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? Do not even the publicans this? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more?
