CHARITY TOWARD OUR NEIGHBOUR part two

To love one's neighbour as oneself is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.Mark 12:33
Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work. Prov. 24:29
Remember not any injury done thee by thy neighbour, and do thou nothing by deeds of injury. Ecclus 10:6
Forgive thy neighbour if he hath hurt thee; and then shall thy sins be forgiven thee when thou prayest. Ecclus.28:2
Hast thou heart a word against thy neighbour? Let it die within thee. Ecclus. 19:10
Love thy neigbour, and be joined to him with fidelity. Ecclus. 27:18
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matt. 22:39
As you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner. And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also love those that love them. And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks are to you? for sinners also do this. And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks are to you? for sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much. But love ye your enemies; do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil. Luke 6: 31-35
