Isaiah 1:16-17 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;… There is no religion — or if there is, I do not know it — which does not say, "Do good; avoid evil." There is none which does not contain what Rabbi Hillel called the quintessence of all religions, the simple warning, "Be good, my boy." "Be good, my boy," may seem a very short catechism; but let us add to it, "Be good, my boy, for God's sake," and we have in it very nearly the whole of the Law and the Prophets. (Max Muller.)
