14. Our conduct. We strive to show unselfish love in all our actions. (John 13:24, 35) We avoid practices that displeases God, including the misuse of blood by taking blood transfusions. (Act 15:28, 29; Galatians 5:19-21) We are peaceful and do not participate in warfare. (Matthew 5:9; Isaiah 2:4) We respect the government where we live and obey its laws as long as these do not call on us to disobey God's laws. - MATTHEW 22:21; ACTS 5:29.
15. Our relationships with others. Jesus commanded: "You must love your neighbor as yourself." He also said that Christians "are no part of the world." (Matthew 22:39; John 17:16) So we try to "work what is good toward all," yet we remain strictly neutral in political affairs and avoid affiliation with other religions. (Galatians 6:10; 2 Corinthians 6:14) However, we respect the choices that others make in such matters. - ROMANS 14:12.
