TREATMENT OF OTHERS...

Matthew 5:43-48
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ 44 “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 “If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect

Romans 12:19 Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord. (BBE)

I Thes. 5:14,15 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

I Ti. 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. (KJV)

Galatians 5:14 FOR ALL THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD EVEN IN THIS; THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.

Ask yourself : Do I follow the teachings of scripture?

REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE ......

From Matthew 7:12......So in everything, do to others what you would have them do unto you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

And here are some of the best expressions of The Golden Rule in modern English.

1. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
2. "Treat others as you would like to be treated."
3. "Treat other people the way you would like to be treated."
4. "Treat other people the way you want to be treated."
5. "Whatever you want people to do to you, do that to them."
