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 to you, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hate you, and pray ye for them that pursue, and slander you;
This is my commandment, that ye love together, as I have loved you.
To no man owe ye anything, but that ye love together. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law.
Each of us please to his neigh-bour in[to] good, to edification.
and be all your things done in charity.
And the Lord multiply you, and make your charity to be plenteous of each to other [or for to abound together], and into all men, as also we in you;
The charity of brotherhood dwell in you,
and do not ye forget hospitality; for by this some men pleased to angels, that were received to harbour.
Think ye on bound men, as ye were together bound, and of travailing men, as yourselves dwelling in the body.
Nevertheless if ye perform the King’s law, by scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.
before all things have ye charity each to other in yourselves always lasting; for charity covereth the multitude of sins.
Therefore ye, as the chosen of God, holy and loved, clothe [ye] you with the entrails of mercy, benignity, and meekness, temperance, patience;
and support ye each other, [or bearing up together], and forgive to yourselves, if any man against any hath a quarrel; as the Lord [Christ] forgave to you, so also ye.
And upon all these things have ye charity, that is the bond of perfectness [or of perfection].
And the peace of Christ enjoy in your hearts, in which ye be called in one body, and be ye kind.
For this is the telling, that ye heard at the beginning, that ye love each other;
Each man that hateth his brother, is a manslayer; and ye know, that each manslayer hath not everlasting life dwelling in him.
In this thing we have known the charity of God, for he put his life for us, and we owe to put our lives for our brethren.
In this thing we have known the charity of God, for he put his life for us, and we owe to put our lives for our brethren.
Most dear brethren, love we together, for charity is of God; and each that loveth his brother, is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is charity.
