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

 Matthew 7:1-12

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Do not be harshly critical; do be discriminating. Never give up praying.

The golden rule puts the whole sermon in a nutshell: Do as you would be done by. "This is the essence of both Law and Prophets.

Why?

Do not judge for we will be judged either.

Do not give dogs what is sacred, this is wisdom. Giving others fit them, something we think it is good but might be don't fit their need.

Do to others what you would have them do to you is the rule to all Christians.

How?

Do to others what you would have them do to you.
