A Call for Unity

The Torah

Do not steal... Do not deceive one another. (Leviticus, 19: 11)
... thieves break into houses, bandits rob in the streets; but they do
not realize that I remember all their evil deeds. Their sins engulf
them; they are always before Me. (Hosea, 7: 1-2)

The Gospel

Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give
false testimony, do not defraud, and honor your father and moth-
er. (Mark, 10: 19)

Treating Parents Well

Your Lord has decreed that you should worship none
but Him, and that you should show kindness to your
parents. Whether one or both of them reach old age with
you, do not say "Ugh!" to them out of irritation, and do
not be harsh with them. Rather, speak to them with gen-
tleness and generosity. (Surat Al-Isra: 23)

The Gospel

Honor your father and mother. (Luke, 18: 20; Matthew, 19: 19)
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor
your father and mother – which is the first commandment with a
promise – that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy
long life on the Earth. (Ephesians, 6: 1-3)
