**76:1** Have therefore yourselves also, my children, compassion towards every man with mercy, that the Lord also may have compassion upon you, and have mercy upon you; because also in the last days God sendeth His compassion on the earth, and wheresoever He findeth bowels of mercy, He dwelleth in him.

**76:2** For how much compassion a man hath upon his neighbours, so much also hath the Lord upon him.

**76:3** For when we went down into Egypt, Joseph bore no malice against us, and when he saw me he was filled with compassion.

**76:4** And looking towards him, do ye also, my children, approve yourselves without malice, and love one another; and reckon not each one the evil of his brother, for this breaketh unity, and divideth all kindred, and troubleth the soul: for he who beareth malice hath not bowels of mercy.
