8Another message came to me from the Lord. 9He rules over all. He says to his people, “Treat everyone fairly. Show faithful love and tender concern to one another. 10Do not take advantage of widows. Do not mistreat children whose fathers have died. Do not crush strangers or poor people. Do not make evil plans against one another.”
