Question #125

of An Orthodox Catechism

Question
Is it enough then that we kill no Man, in such sort as hath been said?
Answer
It is not enough; for when God condemneth Anger, Envy, Hatred, he requireth that1we love our Neighbour as our selves and that we2use Humanity, Lenity,3Courtesie, Patience,4and Mercy towards him, and5turn away from him as much as we may whatsoever may be hurtful unto him; in a word, that we be so affected in Mind as that we6stick not to do good also unto our Enemies.
