8122. The same applies to all other people, both to those who have an occupation and to those who do not. It applies to children's behaviour towards parents, and parents' behaviour towards children; servants' behaviour towards masters, and masters' behaviour towards servants; subjects' behaviour towards a monarch, and a monarch's behaviour towards citizens. Whoever among them does his duty for duty's sake, and what is just for its own sake, exercises charity.
