"But having devoted himself to love his neighbor as himself, he is not afraid of poverty, but becomes poor by sharing his possessions with those who have none. But neither does he punish the sinner. For he who loves his neighbor as himself, as he knows that when he has sinned he does not wish to be punished, so neither does he punish those who sin. And as he wishes to be praised, and blessed, and honored, and to have all his sins forgiven, thus he does to his neighbor, loving him as himself. In one word.... what he wishes for himself, he wishes also for his neighbor. For this is the law of God and of the prophets this is the doctrine of truth"
