For Review 

Stealing - Utilitarianism vs. Deontology vs. Virtue Ethics

Jesus and Virtue Ethics

Chapters 5, 6 & 7 of the Gospel of Matthew - The sermon on the Mount

 (referring to in-class notes)

The norm of personal ethics.

Besides being grounded in the triune God, personal ethics finds its ethical norm in the character of God as it is expressed in God’s law, which is “holy and righteous and good” (Rom. 7:12). God’s law reflects God’s character and calls his people to be set apart from the world (1 Pet. 2:9–12). Jesus was about the transforming of one's character.Jesus set forth a clear pattern of the demands of the God-centered life See the Gospel of Matthew chapters 5, 6 and 7 LInk:https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5-7&version=NRSV

 Examples of Personal Ethics - Concerning Anger, Concerning  Divorce, Concerning Adultery

Jesus' positive ethics deal with the treatment of the poor and stranger or outcast as well as those suffering from  disease (that to be due from sin). It is positive as it upholds human dignity and freedom.

Examples of Positive Ethics - Beatitudes, Golden Rule. Love of Enemies, Do not Worry
