411# 经上记着:“你要爱主你的上帝”在万有之上,“并且爱邻舍如同自己。”(路10:27)所谓爱邻舍如同自己,即是不因己而轻视他,乃按公义与之相待,并且不对他作恶意的判断。仁义之律乃由主亲自立定并赐下,其文如下:“所以,无论何事,你们愿意人怎样待你们,你们也要怎样待人;因为这就是律法和先知。”(太7:12;路6:31,32)
凡在天堂之爱中的人,乃如此爱邻舍;在世界之爱中的人,则由世界并为世界而爱邻舍;在自我之爱中的人,则由自己并为自己而爱邻舍。
人以复数言之,即较小与较大的群体;又以复合体言之,即由诸群体构成的祖国;此等皆为当爱的邻舍。
411# 经上记着:
你要爱主你的神胜过一切,又要爱邻如己。(路加福音10:27)
爱邻如己是指不要与自己相比轻视他,要公正地对待他,不要不公正地评判他,或说不要对他进行邪恶的评判。主所制定并赐下的仁爱律法是这样:
无论何事,你们愿意人怎样待你们,你们也要怎样待人;因为这就是律法和先知。(马太福音7:12; 路加福音6:31,32)
那些处于天堂之爱的人以这种方式来爱邻舍;而那些处于世界之爱的人出于世界或世俗的动机并为了世界来爱邻舍;那些处于自我之爱的人则出于自我并为了自我来爱邻舍。
IV. 集体人,即大大小小的社区,和由社区形成的复合人,即一个人的国家,是那要被爱的邻舍
411. We read that we are to love the Lord God above all things, and our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27). To love our neighbor as ourselves means not despising our neighbors in comparison with ourselves. It means treating them justly and not judging them wrongfully. The law of goodwill pronounced and given by the Lord himself is this:
Whatever you want people to do for you, do likewise for them. This is the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31-32)
This is how people who love heaven love their neighbor. People who love the world, however, love their neighbor on a worldly basis for a worldly benefit. People who love themselves love their neighbor in a selfish way for a selfish benefit.
411. We read:
You are to love the Lord God above all and your neighbour as yourself, Luke 10:27.
Loving the neighbour as oneself means not despising him compared with oneself, dealing justly with him, and not passing wicked judgment upon him. The law of charity promulgated and given by the Lord Himself is this:
Whatever you wish people to do to you, do the same to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets, Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31-32.
That is how those who are impelled by the love of heaven love the neighbour; but those who are impelled by the love of the world love the neighbour in worldly fashion and for worldly reasons, and those who are impelled by self-love love the neighbour in selfish fashion and for selfish reasons.
411. It is written,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God above all things, and thy neighbor as thyself (Luke 10:27).
To love the neighbor as oneself is, not to hold him in light esteem in comparison with oneself, to deal justly with him, and not to pass evil judgments upon him. The law of charity set forth and given by the Lord is this:
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them; for this is the law and the prophets (Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31, 32).
So do they love the neighbor who are in the love of heaven; while those who are in the love of the world love the neighbor from the world and for the sake of the world; and those who are in the love of self love the neighbor from self and for the sake of self.
411. It is written:
'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God above all things, and the neighbor as thyself.' Luke 10:25.
To love the neighbor as oneself is, not to despise him in comparison with oneself, to deal justly with him, and not to judge evil concerning him. The law of charity laid down and given by the Lord Himself is this:
"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets" Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31-32.
In this way do those love the neighbor who are in the love of heaven; but those who are in the love of the world love him from worldly motives and for the sake of the world, while those who are in the love of self love the neighbor from self and for the sake of self.
411. Legitur, Amabis Dominum Deum super omnia, et Proximum sicut te ipsum, Luca 10:27, amare proximum sicut seipsum, est illum prae se non contemnere, ac juste cum illo agere, et de illo non malum judicium ferre: Lex Charitatis ab Ipso Domino lata et data est haec, "Quaecunque volueritis ut faciant vobis homines, sic et vos facite illis; haec enim est Lex et Prophetae," Matthaeus 7:12, Luca 6:31-32. Ita amant proximum illi qui in Amore Coeli sunt, at qui in Amore Mundi sunt, illi amant proximum ex Mundo et propter mundum, illi autem qui in Amore sui sunt, amant proximum ex se et propter se.
