And if you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall turn them back and restore them to him.

And if you see your enemy's donkey fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by it, but you shall help to raise it with him.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and you shall hate your enemy.'

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

Bless those that persecute you; bless and do not curse.

"Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth";

who, being verbally abused, did not return verbal insults, when [He] suffered, [He] did not threaten, but committed [Himself] to Him who judges righteously;

not rendering evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called for this purpose, that you may inherit a blessing.

Be not hasty with your mouth, and let not your heart be swift to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven above, and you [are] on earth; therefore let your words be few.

Do not allow your mouth to lead your flesh to sin; and say not in the presence of God, It was an error; lest God be angry at your voice, and destroy the works of your hands.

But I say to you that whoever gets angry with his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Empty-head!' will be liable to the council. But whoever says, ' fool!' will be liable to the fiery hell.

But I say to you, that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. Thus the tongue is set among our members, as that which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are created according to [the] likeness of God.

Out of the same mouth come blessings and curses. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
