“Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.”
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. — Apodidōmi (repay) kakos (evil) for kakos is explicitly forbidden—the cycle of retaliation must break. Pronoeo (be forethought, care for) kalos (good) in front of pantos anthrōpou (all humans) means visible righteousness. Ethics are not private but performed before the watching world.
