Love thy neighbour 隣人を愛する (レビ記 19:18)

絵の説明: 神様がモーセに十戒を授ける

聖書節

“復讐してはならない。あなたの国の人々を恨んではならない。あなたの隣人をあなた自身のように愛しなさい。わたしは主である。” (レビ記19:18)

起源と適用

神様は様々な決まりを定めた中で、「隣人を愛しなさい」とモーセが十戒に定める前に述べました。しかし数ある決まりの中でどれが重んじられているのでしょう?イエス様はこれを弟子に聞かれた時に、「心を尽くし神である主を愛せよ」と、「あなたの隣人をあなた自身のように愛しなさい。」と答えられました。なぜならこの2つの決まりが神様が決められた決まりの全てを含む答えだったからです。
