I would add a middle response: "Where it is important"

Generally if something needs to be interpreted while looking at it in a mirror and hanging upside down from your feet and using three dictionaries it is probably NOT of heaven or hell importance.

Matthew 5:43-44 KJVA
(43) Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
(44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Very clear. But not very easy... But we are talking aabout clear....clearly...:D
