well then, you who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal [in ways that are discrete, but just as sinful]?

“Blessed and happy and favored is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account nor charge against him.”

Now if I habitually do what I do not want to do, [that means] I agree with the Law, confessing that it is good (morally excellent).

“This is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”

Never repay anyone evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and gracious and proper in the sight of everyone.
