Every text is measured by the same standards, whatever tradition it comes from. What is measured is what a text does, not whether it is right. A language model makes the assignment; it is pattern recognition, not a theological claim.
Standing up for those who suffer, without expecting anything in return.
Giving each what is due; naming wrong and turning it away.
Acknowledging one's own limits and not placing oneself above others.
Tending, carrying and protecting the common life; the individual is part of a whole.
Answering for one's own actions and their consequences, before God and before people.
Holding on to the belief that the future is not lost, even in darkness.
Seeking understanding, wanting to know, treating learning as a duty.
Enduring without giving up; giving the moment time without becoming indifferent.
Recognising what has been received and not taking it for granted.
Speaking and living the truth, even when it is uncomfortable.
Looking after the weaker: the sick, the poor, children, strangers.
Recognising one's own error and changing direction; a new beginning is possible.
Each assigned value carries a weight: mentioned, a sustaining motif, or the main message. The figure in the compass follows from that.
How does the text address its listeners?
How strong is the emotional register?
Whom do the demands of the text address first of all?
How tangible are the statements?
How strongly does the text set its own group apart from other people? Groups of people are meant, not ideas or behaviours.
