AE 834 - Again, who is the neighbor?

AE 834
. . . while every person is a neighbor,
every person is a neighbor from his quality,
and consequently that it is the quality of a person
from which he is a person
that is meant in the spiritual sense by "neighbor;"
for otherwise a bad person
would be as much a neighbor as a good person;
and yet to do good to the evil
is sometimes doing evil to the good.
