    Westminster Larger Catechism

    Q. 135. What are the duties required in the sixth commandment?
    A. The duties required in the sixth commandment are, all careful
    studies, and lawful endeavours, to preserve the life of ourselves and
    others by resisting all thoughts and purposes, subduing all passions,
    and avoiding all occasions, temptations, and practices, which tend to
    the unjust taking away the life of any; by just defence thereof
    against violence, patient bearing of the hand of God, quietness of
    mind, cheerfulness of spirit; a sober use of meat, drink, physic,
    sleep, labor, and recreation; by charitable thoughts, love,
    compassion, meekness, gentleness, kindness; peaceable, mild, and
    courteous speeches and behavior: forbearance, readiness to be
    reconciled, patient bearing and forgiving of injuries, and requiting
    good for evil; comforting and succoring the distressed, and protecting
    and defending the innocent.

    Q. 136. What are the sins forbidden in the sixth commandment?
    A. The sins forbidden in the sixth commandment are, all taking away
    the life of ourselves, or of others, except in case of public justice,
    lawful war, or necessary defence; the neglecting or withdrawing the
    lawful and necessary means of preservation of life; sinful anger,
    hatred, envy, desire of revenge; all excessive passions, distracting
    cares; immoderate use of meat, drink, labor, and recreations;
    provoking words; oppression, quarreling, striking, wounding, and
    whatsoever else tends to the destruction of the life of any.


    Luther from his catechism:

    to his neighbor, but he also who can do him good, prevent, resist
    evil, defend and save him, so that no bodily harm or hurt happen to
    him and yet does not do it. If, therefore, you send away one that is
    naked when you could clothe him, you have caused him to freeze to
    death; you see on
