Treat others, as you would have them treat you.
Matthew 7:12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
QUESTION;1/ If i lived among/within a society of my peers, and, 2/ if am
NOT a murderer today,
BUT, if i were to become a murderer tomorrow, ...would i want [and expect] others to forgive me for such a crime ?
.....i.e.
want it, because i [selfishly] wanted others to forgive what i had done, ....so that i could avoid the consequence(s) of my actions/choices ?
ALTERNATIVELY, [and, if i was actually a moral person] what response from others should i be prepared to suffer [
and expect], if i [
chose to,] became a murderer ?
Murder.
Not negligent manslaughter.

Listen to your heart.....Deuteronomy 8:2
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee,
to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
.
Not all men are worthy [....of our trust].
It is foolishness [i.e. it would be
irresponsible of us, as moral beings] to give what is holy, to the ungodly.
Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
