The concept of neighborliness is deeply rooted in the Scriptures, emphasizing love, compassion, and justice.<br><br><b>Old Testament Understanding</b><br><br>The Hebrew word for neighbor, "rea," appears frequently in the Old Testament, often referring to fellow Israelites. The Mosaic Law provides numerous instructions on how to treat one's neighbor, underscoring the importance of justice and kindness. <a href="/leviticus/19-18.htm">Leviticus 19:18</a> commands, "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD." This verse is pivotal, encapsulating the ethical treatment expected among the Israelites.<br><br>The Decalogue, or Ten Commandments, also addresses the treatment of neighbors. <a href="/exodus/20-16.htm">Exodus 20:16-17</a> warns against bearing false witness and coveting, actions that can harm community relationships. These commandments highlight the importance of integrity and respect in maintaining harmony among neighbors.<br><br><b>New Testament Expansion</b><br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus Christ expands the definition of "neighbor" beyond ethnic and religious boundaries. The Parable of the Good Samaritan (<a href="/luke/10-25.htm">Luke 10:25-37</a>) is a profound illustration of this expanded understanding. When asked, "And who is my neighbor?" (<a href="/luke/10-29.htm">Luke 10:29</a>), Jesus responds with a account that challenges societal norms, portraying a Samaritan—a group despised by Jews—as the true neighbor for his acts of mercy.<br><br>Jesus reiterates the command to love one's neighbor in <a href="/matthew/22-39.htm">Matthew 22:39</a>, stating, "And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" This command is second only to loving God, indicating its critical importance in Christian ethics.<br><br><b>Pauline Epistles</b><br><br>The Apostle Paul echoes Jesus' teachings in his letters, emphasizing love as the fulfillment of the law. In <a href="/romans/13-9.htm">Romans 13:9-10</a>, Paul writes, "The commandments... are summed up in this one decree: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Here, Paul underscores that genuine love for one's neighbor is the essence of Christian living.<br><br><b>Practical Implications</b><br><br>The biblical mandate to love one's neighbor has practical implications for daily life. It calls for active compassion, forgiveness, and service. In <a href="/james/2-8.htm">James 2:8</a>, believers are reminded, "If you really keep the royal law stated in Scripture, 'Love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing well." This royal law challenges Christians to transcend cultural and social barriers, embodying Christ's love in tangible ways.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical concept of neighbors is a call to a life of love, justice, and mercy. It challenges believers to reflect God's character in their interactions, fostering communities marked by peace and mutual respect.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1069.htm"><span class="l">1069. geiton -- a neighbor</span></a> <br><b>...</b> neighbor Definition: a neighbor.
