NIV: "but love your neighbor as yourself."
in which רֵעַ REA, 'friend, acquaintance, kin, neighbor, fellow, partner', is not to be confused with רוֹעַ ROA, 'evil, wickedness'. Both are of the uniliteral Hebrew root ר R, referring to a material state of several bodies. So, רְעוּת ReUT, is 'a friendly and unfettered association of free persons', whereas רוֹעַ ROA is 'corruption, disintegration, dissolution, decrepitude.'

Notice the attached end personal pronouns in each word
וְאָהַבְתָּ = ואהב-אתה
לְרֵעֲךָ = לרע-אכה
כָּמוֹךָ = כמוֹ-אכה

It follows that רוֹעֶה צֹאן, 'shepherd', is certainly not a רוֹאֶה צֹאן 'herd supervisor'.
