"Do for others what you want them to do for you.

This is the teaching of the laws of Moses in a nutshell."

~ Matthew 7:12 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "This is commonly known as the Golden Rule. In many religions, it is stated negatively, 'Don't do to others what you don't want done to you.' By stating it positively, Jesus made it more significant. It is not so hard to refrain from harming others; it is much more difficult to take the initiative in doing something good for them. The Golden Rule as Jesus formulated it is the foundation of active goodness and mercy----the kind God wants to show to us every day."
