Добро и зло
Machine translation from the original · Show original
We are Christians. We have the holy Word of God. We see in it what is good and what is evil, what is useful and what is harmful. Thus, God forbids what is evil and what is harmful to us, and commands what is good and useful to us. What are people doing? Let us apply this to Holy Scripture, as to a clean mirror, and look into it. Do people do similar or opposite things to him? If they do something similar, it’s good, and it’s good for us to do it. If it’s disgusting, let’s turn our eyes away from it and listen to what the Holy Book teaches.
Avoid evil and do good for the sake of God, and not for any other reason, because God forbade one thing and commanded another. Everything that is not done for the sake of God is displeasing to God. Let the will of God, which does not want evil and wants good, be the reason in all your deeds.
