1 - The alien
who resides with you shall
be to you as the citizen among you; you
shall love the alien as yourself, for you
were aliens in the land of Egypt.
Leviticus 19:34 (NRSV).
2 - "Master, this woman was caught in the
very act of committing adultery" ... But
Jesus bent down and started writing on the
ground with his finger
As they persisted with their question, he
looked up and said, "If there is one of you
who has not sinned, let him be the first to
throw a stone at her."... When they heard
this they went away one by one, beginning
with the eldest, until Jesus was left alone
with the woman, who remained standing
there. He looked up and said, "Woman,
where are they? Has no one condemned
you?" "No one sir," she replied. "Neither do
I condemn you," said Jesus, "go away and
don’t sin any more."
John 8:4-11. (Jerusalem Bible)
3 -"I am the good Shepherd. I know my
own and my own know me, just as the
Father knows me and I know the Father.
And I lay down my life for the sheep.
"I have other sheep that do not belong to
this fold. I must bring them also, and they
|
will listen to
my voice. So there will be one
flock, one shepherd."
(John 10:3-4, 14, 16).
4 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is
neither slave nor free, there is neither male
nor female, for you are all one in Christ
Jesus.
Galations 3:28.
5 - Argue not with the People of the
Scripture [Jews, Christians, Muslims] unless
it be in (a way) that is better, save with such
of them as do wrong. And say: we believe
in that which hath been revealed unto us and
revealed unto you; our God and your God is
One, and unto Him, we surrender.
Qur ‘an 29:46.
6— Do rightly, justly, truly, holy, equally to
all people in all things, and that is according
to that of God in every man, and the witness
of God and the wisdom of God and the life
of God in yourselves; and there ye are
serviceable in your generation, labouring in
the thing that is good, which doth not spoil
nor destroy nor waste creation upon lusts.
George Fox, Epistle 200 (1661).
