He would have this commandment placed as a wall, fortress, and refuge around our neighbor so that we do not hurt or harm him in his body—LC I:185
He wants to make us used to keeping this commandment ever in view, always to contemplate ourselves in it as in a mirror, to regard the will of God, and to turn over to Him the wrong that we suffer with hearty confidence and by calling on His name.—LC I:187
It also applies to anyone who can do his neighbor good, prevent or resist evil, defend and save his neighbor so that no bodily harm or hurt happens to him—yet does not do this.—LC I; 189
Therefore it is God’s ultimate purpose that we let harm come to no one, but show him all good and love.—LC I:193
