Amor ao próximo
O amor ao próximo não é opcional — é mandamento. Amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. A lei inteira se cumpre nesta palavra. O amor ao próximo é prova do amor a Deus.
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, do good to those that hate you, and pray for those who speak evil about you, and persecute you;
This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.
Owe no one anything, but love one unto another; for he that loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.
Let each one of us please his neighbour in that which is good, unto edification.
Let all your things be done with charity.
And the Lord make you to multiply and make charity to abound among you and toward all men, even as it is with us toward you,
Let brotherly love continue.
Do not forget to show hospitality; for thereby some, having entertained angels, were kept.
Remember those that are in bonds as bound with them and those who suffer adversity as being yourselves also in the body.
If ye truly fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well;
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves; for charity shall cover a multitude of sins.
Clothed, therefore, (as the elect of God, holy and beloved) with bowels of mercies, with kindness, with humility, with meekness, with tolerance,
forbearing one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a quarrel against another: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, into which likewise ye are called into one body, and be ye thankful.
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, That we should love one another.
Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
In this we have known the charity of God because he laid down his life for us; we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
In this we have known the charity of God because he laid down his life for us; we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. Anyone that loves is born of God and knows God.
He that does not love does not know God, for God is charity.
