Q110. What does God forbid in the eighth commandment? A.

Q111. What does God require of you in this commandment? A. I must promote my neighbour's good wherever I can and may, deal with him as I would like others to deal with me, and work faithfully so that I may be able to give to those in need.[1] [1] Is. 58:5-10; Matt. 7:12; Gal. 6:9, 10; Eph. 4:28.
