Kutoka 22: 20-26

22:20 Whoever immolates to gods, other than to the Lord, shall be killed. 22:21 You shall not harass the newcomer, nor shall you afflict him. For you yourselves were once newcomers in the land of Egypt.

22:22 You shall not harm a widow or an orphan.

22:23 If you hurt them, they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry.

22:24 And my fury will be enraged, and I will strike you down with the sword. And your wives will become widows, and your sons will become orphans.

22:25 If you lend money to the poor of my people who live among you, you shall not coerce them like a collector, nor oppress them with usury.

22:26 If you take a garment from your neighbor as a pledge, you shall return it to him again before the setting of the sun

Wathesalonike 1: 5-10

1:5 Maana Injili yetu haikuwako kwenu kwa neno tu, lakini pia katika fadhila, na katika Roho Mtakatifu, na kwa utimilifu mkubwa, kama vile mjuavyo kwamba tumetenda kazi miongoni mwenu kwa ajili yenu.

1:6 Na hivyo, mkawa wafuasi wetu na wa Bwana, kulikubali Neno katikati ya dhiki kuu, bali kwa furaha ya Roho Mtakatifu.

1:7 Hivyo ninyi mmekuwa kielelezo kwa wote wanaoamini katika Makedonia na Akaya.

1:8 Kwa kutoka kwako, Neno la Bwana likaenezwa, si tu katika Makedonia na Akaya, lakini pia kila mahali. Imani yako, ambayo ni kwa Mungu, imeendelea sana hivi kwamba hatuhitaji kuongea nanyi kuhusu jambo lolote.

1:9 Kwa maana wengine wanaripoti miongoni mwetu jinsi tulivyokubalika kwenu, na jinsi mlivyogeuzwa kutoka masanamu na kumgeukia Mungu, kwa utumishi wa Mungu aliye hai na wa kweli,

1:10 na tarajio la Mwana wake kutoka mbinguni (ambao aliwafufua kutoka kwa wafu), Yesu, ambaye ametuokoa na ghadhabu inayokaribia.

Mathayo 22: 33-40

22:33 And when the crowds heard this, they wondered at his doctrine. 22:34 Lakini Mafarisayo, kusikia kwamba amewafanya Masadukayo kunyamaza, walikuja pamoja kama kitu kimoja.

22:35 Na mmoja wao, daktari wa sheria, alimhoji, kumjaribu:

22:36 “Mwalimu, ambayo ndiyo amri kuu katika torati?”

22:37 Yesu akamwambia: “ ‘Mpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote na kwa akili zako zote.’

22:38 Hii ndiyo amri iliyo kuu na ya kwanza.

22:39 Lakini ya pili inafanana nayo: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’

22:40 Katika amri hizi mbili sheria nzima inategemea, na manabii pia.”
