They who have ears to hear may hear; they who have hearts
to understand may know.
AG 115:9

Worthy are the pure in heart; and they shall see the king
Woe to the man of greed; for what he has is not his own;
and lo, another comes; his wealth is gone.THE GOLDEN RULE:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
AG 97:29
22) Men call him coward who will not fight and thus defend his rights; but he is much the greater man who is assailed, is smitten and does not smite;
23) Who is maligned and answers not, than he who smites the smiter and reviles the one who slanders him.
24) It has been said in olden times that man shall love his friend and hate his foe; but, lo, I say,
25) Be merciful unto your foes; bless those who slander you; do good to those who do you harm and pray for those who trample on your rights.
26) Remember, you are children of the God who makes his sun to rise alike upon the evil and the good, who sends his rain upon the unjust and the just.
Prayer:
2) Prayer is the deep communion of the soul with God;
3) So when you pray do not deceive yourselves as do the hypocrites who love to stand upon the streets and in the synagogues and pour out many words to please the ears of men.
4) And they adorn themselves with pious airs that they may have the praise of men. They seek the praise of men and their reward is sure.
5) But when you pray, go to the closet of your soul; close all the doors, and in the holy silence, pray.
6) You need not speak a multitude of words, nor yet repeat the words again and then again, as heathen do.

18) And when the publicans came up and asked, What must we do? John answered them,
19) Be honest in your work; do not increase for selfish gain the tribute you collect; take nothing more than what your king demands.
20) And when the soldiers came and asked, What must we do? The harbinger replied,
21) Do violence to none; exact no wrongful thing, and be contented with the wages you receive.
