When thou meetest the ox of thine enemy, or his ass, going astray, thou shalt, surely bring it back, to him.

Thou shalt not take vengeance neither shalt thou cherish anger against the sons of thy people, So shalt thou love thy neighbour as thyself, - I, am Yahweh.

As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the lawless, proceedeth lawlessness, - mine own hand, therefore shall not be upon thee.

If I have requited my friend with wrong, - or have oppressed mine adversary without need,

He that returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Do not say, I will requite wrong! Wait thou for Yahweh that he may save thee.

When thine enemy falleth, do not thou rejoice, and, when he stumbleth, let not thy heart exult:

If he that hateth thee hunger, give him bread to eat, and, if he be thirsty, give him water to drink;

But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, - Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;

But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for, nothing, back; and your reward shall be, great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High, - for, he, is, gracious, unto the ungrateful and wicked.

Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men:

Already, indeed, it is an utter defeat for you, that ye are having, law-suits, one with another. Wherefore are ye not rather taking wrong? Wherefore are ye not rather suffering yourselves to be defrauded?

Who did not, a sin, commit, neither was deceit found in his mouth, -

Not returning evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the contrary, bestowing a blessing, - because, hereunto, have ye been called, in order that, a blessing, ye might inherit.

To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto his own kingdom and glory,

What is right, what is right, shalt thou pursue, - that thou mayest live and possess the land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee.

Even they who are repaying evil for good, accuse me because I pursue the good.

Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:

Pursue love; nevertheless be envious of the spiritual gifts, - and, rather, that ye may be prophesying.

But, thou, O man of God! from these things, flee! and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

Peace, be pursuing, with all, and the obtaining of holiness, - without which no one shall see the Lord:

Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it;

And

Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men:

Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all, - but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

And, a servant of the Lord, ought not to strive, but to be, gentle, towards all, apt in teaching, ready to endure malice, -

To be defaming, no one, to be, averse to strife, considerate, shewing, all, meekness unto all men.

Unto all men, give honour, unto the brotherhood, shew love, unto God, give reverence, the king, hold in honour.
