50. 3. The quality of the neighbour with a man is in accordance with the quality of the good [and truth] with him; or such as a man is, such a neighbour is he. The Lord's parable of the man wounded by robbers, where it is said that the one who helped him is neighbour,* teaches that not every man is neighbour in the same way as another. * Luke X. 29-37.
