*Lord's Day 40*
Question
But is it enough that we do not kill any man in the manner mentioned above?
Answer
No: for when God forbids envy, hatred, and anger, he commands us to love our neighbour as ourselves; (a) to show patience, peace, meekness, mercy, and all kindness, towards him, (b) and prevent his hurt as much as in us lies; (c) and that we do good, even to our enemies. (d) (a) Matt.7:12; Matt.22:39; Rom.12:10. (b) Eph.4:2; Gal.6:1,2; Matt.5:5,7,9; Rom.12:18; Luke 6:36; 1 Pet.3:8; Col.3:12; Rom.12:10,15. (c) Exod.23:5. (d) Matt.5:44,45; Rom.12:20,21. 41. Lord's Day
