 5 LawGod,3 |            and of the desire to do good toward one's neighbor.~What

 7 LawGod,3 |        though he might desire this good. The holy apostle Paul speaks

11 LawGod,4 |            developing in himself a good, Christian-valued foundation.

24 LawGod,10|         Speaking about every truly good, Christian activity, the
25 LawGod,10|    teaching, we not only cannot do good, but we cannot even wish
26 LawGod,10|  unfettered. Man is free to choose good or evil, salvation or ruin -
27 LawGod,12|         perfection and beauty in a good picture, composition or
28 LawGod,12|            the ideals of truth and good. An Orthodox Christian never
29 LawGod,13|             Unfortunately, in many good Orthodox Christian families,
30 LawGod,13|           everything that is pure, good and bright is especially
31 LawGod,14|         firmly directed toward the good of the neighbor, toward
32 LawGod,14|       neighbor, toward the side of good and not evil.~How is one
33 LawGod,14|           life. On the other hand, good habits are a valuable acquisition
34 LawGod,14|            must teach himself much good so that what is good becomes
35 LawGod,14|          much good so that what is good becomes his own - habitual.
36 LawGod,14|         strong mind and a profound good heart, turns out to be weak-willed
37 LawGod,14|       plans in life, no matter how good and valuable they might

43 LawGod,15|         personal promise to do any good, beneficial deed, for example,
44 LawGod,15|        select a definite, constant good deed in this area and make
45 LawGod,17|           bad associations deprave good morals.~There is another
46 LawGod,17|          others in the struggle of good not only shows them Orthodox
47 LawGod,18|            no evil, but we must do good, according to our conscience,
48 LawGod,18|       rather place the welfare and good of your neighbor above all
49 LawGod,18|          correction. How often the good intention of such a repenting
50 LawGod,18|     mistrust and coldness, and the good desire for correction disappears,
51 LawGod,18|    contrary, joyfully receives the good volition of the neighbor,
52 LawGod,19|          entangles and darkens the good relationship of people among
53 LawGod,19|      malicious haters of truth and good. For this reason, the Lord

55 LawGod,19|         and thus, he strives to do good to and for them. One who

57 LawGod,19|          not a Christian. And this good, this love towards neighbors
58 LawGod,20|         place of Christ's love and good will. And our Savior included
59 LawGod,20|         disposition. For, in every good family, envy is impossible
60 LawGod,20|            envy, a strong enemy of good relationships between people
61 LawGod,20|            atmosphere of peace and good relationships as widely
62 LawGod,20|        every Christian struggle of good deeds is higher and of greater
63 LawGod,20|           but respond to evil with good. And Apostle Paul explains: "
64 LawGod,20|             but overcome evil with good." And the reverse; if a
65 LawGod,21|          is the difference between good and evil, between what is
66 LawGod,21|          and evil, between what is good and what is bad. Eudemonism,
67 LawGod,21|           philosophy of the common good) is a somewhat better system
68 LawGod,21|     coincides with the concept of "good" as something absolutely
69 LawGod,21|            as something absolutely good. Medicine, for example,
70 LawGod,21|          advantage, but the common good, common benefit in which,
71 LawGod,21|           they claim, the personal good of each individual is to
72 LawGod,21|          concepts of "useful" and "good" do not necessarily coincide.
73 LawGod,22|            those who curse you, do good to those who hate you and
74 LawGod,22|         other people not for their good or obliging disposition
75 LawGod,23|        love is distinguished. With good reason, Apostle Paul compares
76 LawGod,23|        inner relationship.~In each good family there must, without
77 LawGod,23|          as a believing Christian, good, responsive, work-loving,
78 LawGod,24|           mercy and love which the good Samaritan bestowed upon
79 LawGod,24|            to the native land, its good estate and safety.~One can,
80 LawGod,24|          is sufficient if one is a good, loving, responsive and
81 LawGod,24|           they become "one's own." Good upbringing must teach the
82 LawGod,24|        manner - to be friendly, of good will, to have a sincere
