Q What is our duty to our neighbors?
A Our duty to our neighbors is to love them as ourselves, and to do
to other people as we wish them to do to us;
V To love, honor, and help our parents and family; to honor those in
authority, and to meet their just demands;
VI To show respect for the life God has given us; to work and pray
for peace; to bear no malice, prejudice, or hatred in our hearts; and to
be kind to all the creatures of God;
VII To use our bodily desires as God intended;
VIII To be honest and fair in our dealings; to seek justice, freedom,
and the necessities of life for all people; and to use our talents and
possessions as ones who must answer for them to God;
IX To speak the truth, and not to mislead others by our silence;
X To resist temptations to envy, greed, and jealousy; to rejoice in
other people's gifts and graces; and to do our duty for the love of God,
who has called us into fellowship with him.

our need for redemption.

creation.
