The Law found more than it lost when Christ said, โLove your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heavenโ (Matthew 5:44-45). This most important commandment summarizes in a word the universal discipline of patience, since it does not allow us to do evil even to people who deserve it.
TertullianNow we allow that life begins with conception, because we contend that the soul also begins from conception; life taking its commencement at the same moment and place that the soul does.
