- All Individual Members of Humankind Are the Neighbor We Are to Love, but [in Different Ways] Depending on the Type of Goodness They HaveThe Neighbor We Are to Love Is Humankind on a Wider Scale in the Form of Smaller and Larger Communities and Humankind in the Aggregate as a Country of Such Communities; On an Even Higher Level, the Neighbor We Are to Love Is the Church, and on the Highest Level, Our Neighbor Is the Lord's Kingdom; Loving Our Neighbor Is Not in Fact Loving the Person but Loving the Goodness That Is inside the Person.
- Goodwill and Good Actions Are Two Distinct Things: Wishing People Well and Treating Them WellGoodwill Itself Is Acting Justly and Faithfully in Our Position and Our Work and with the People with Whom We Interact; Acts of Kindness Related to Goodwill Consist in Giving to the Poor and Helping the Needy, Although with Prudence; The First Step toward Goodwill Is Removing Evils; the Second Step Is Doing Good Things That Are Useful to Our Neighbor; As Long as We Believe That Everything Good Comes from the Lord, We Do Not Take Credit for the Things We Do As We Practice Goodwill.
