You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on foot,

just as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the Highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, without a word.

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

For you yourselves know how you need to imitate our example, for we were not disorderly among you;

nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,
