And in respect of the words 'A man should put his own soul to death rather than [that] of his neighbour,' they mean that a man should bear his own sins, and should be remote from the anxiety of all men. And he should not say, ' This is good, and this is bad'; and he should not do harm to any man; and the wickedness of your neighbour should not be remembered in your heart; and you must not hold in contempt the man who has done wickedness to your friend; and you must not deliver your will over to him that does evil to your neighbour; and you must not rejoice in that which causes evil to your neighbour. This is the meaning of the words that a man 'should die rather than [his] neighbour.' And you will not speak evilly of a man, but say, ' God knows every man'; and you will not take pleasure in evil converse, and you will not deliver your will over to him that reviles your neighbour. This is the meaning of the words, 'Judge not that you be not judged.' And you will not make enmity against any man, and you will not make any enmity in your heart, and you shalt not hate him that works enmity against his neighbour, and you will not judge his enmity, and you will not keep wrath against a brother who keeps wrath against his neighbour. For this is peace.
