But is it enough that we do not kill any man in the manner mentioned above? No: for when God forbids envy, hatred, and anger, he commands us to love our neighbour as ourselves; [309] to show patience, peace, meekness, mercy, and all kindness, towards him, [310] and prevent his hurt as much as in us lies; [311] and that we do good, even to our enemies.
