18 aYou shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but byou shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.Psalms 7:4
4if I have repaid cmy friend ▼▼Hebrew the one at peace with me
with evilor eplundered my enemy without cause,
Psalms 35:14
14I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother;as one who laments his mother,
I fbowed down in mourning.
Proverbs 24:11-12
11 gRescue those who are being taken away to death;hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
12If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
hdoes not he who iweighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who jkeeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man kaccording to his work?
Matthew 5:44
44But I say to you, lLove your enemies and mpray for those who persecute you,Luke 6:27-28

27“But I say to you who hear, nLove your enemies, odo good to those who hate you, 28 pbless those who curse you, qpray for those who abuse you.Luke 10:32-37
32So likewise ra Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a sSamaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34He went to him and tbound up his wounds, pouring on uoil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35And the next day he took out two vdenarii ▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
