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 that1 ⁠ we love our Neighbour as our selves and that we2 ⁠ use Humanity, Lenity,3 ⁠ Courtesie, Patience,4 ⁠ and Mercy towards him, and5 ⁠ turn 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 we6 ⁠ stick not to do good also unto our Enemies.
