Do to Others As You Would Have Them Do to You

Matthew 7:12
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
πάντα οὖν ὅσα ἐὰν θέλητε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς
📜 THE VERSE

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Do I apply the standard I want from others to myself as well?

📝Reflection

Humanity's oldest moral law is astonishingly simple. Confucius said, "Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire." This Galilean teacher flipped it around: "Do to others what you desire." One is a restraint, the other a command, but the heart is the same — set yourself on one side of a scale and the other person on the far side, and look for balance. Every civilization has shared this one scale. If someone hurts you today, it is enough to stand once in their place.
