Abhor
What Is Evil, Cling to What Is Good
"Abhor
what is evil. Cling to what is good." (1)
"Oh,
taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who
trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is
no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer
hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good
thing." (2)
"Do
not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from
evil, it will be health to your flesh and strength to your
bones." (3)
"Now
one came and said to Him, 'Good Teacher, what good thing shall
I do that I may have eternal life?' Jesus said to him, 'Why
do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is God.
But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.'
He said to Him, 'Which ones?' Jesus said, 'You shall not murder,'
'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You
shall not bear false witness,' 'Honor your father and your
mother,' and, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
" (4)
"For
all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: 'You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.' " (5)
