" Whosoever is angry with his brother without cause shall be in danger of the judgment: .... but whosoever shall say, Thou fool! shall be in danger of hell fire." "Love thy neighbor as thyself. Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them." The above passages all have reference to the social relations, and contain precepts such as Confucianists lay down...
