Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
(The Bible – Hebrews 12: 14)
Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar, for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
(The Bible, NKJV, I John 4: 7, 8, 20)
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
(The Bible, NKJV, – Galatians 3: 28)
Love with a heart of tenderness
Your enemies and friends;
However hard this may appear,
This quality just mends.
For Love is God in action true,
A presence that is felt;
A healing and a saving power
That will all discord melt.
(Christian Science Hymnal 519)

be the moment now.
With every step I take, let this
be my solemn vow:
To take each moment and live each
moment in peace eternally!
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
(Hymn 521 Christian Science Hymnal)
… let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
(The Bible – James 1: 19, 20)
.
The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother’s need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another’s good.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p518: 15-19)
