Question 107

API: GET /api/v1/documents/heidelberg/questions/107

But is it enough that we don’t kill any man in the manner mentioned above?

No: for when God forbids envy, hatred, and anger, he commands us to love our neighbour as ourselves;^a to show patience,^b peace, meekness,^c mercy, and all kindness, towards him;^d and prevent his hurt as much as in us lies:^e and that we do good, even to our enemies.^f
