A BRIEF CONCLUSION TO THE TEN COMANDMENTS

Christ Himself says, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you,

do ye even so to them; this is the whole law and all the prophets."

[Matt. 7:12] Now no one wishes to receive ingratitude for benefits

conferred or to let another take away his good name. No one wishes to

have pride shown toward him. No one wishes to endure disobedience,

wrath, a wife's impurity, robbery, lying, deceit, slander; but every

one wishes to find in his neighbor kindliness, thankfulness,

helpfulness, truth and fidelity. All this the Ten Commandments

require.
