I. WHAT IS FORBIDDEN.

1. Not a proper care for one's own health. reputation, interest, etc., but a selfish disregard of the happiness, claims, and rights of others.

II. WHAT IS ENJOINED? not inquisitiveness, but consideration, sympathy, help — because of God's ordination, our own mutual dependence, Christ's example, the pleasure and reward.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
