Augustine of Hippo
Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 7
Mt 7, 12English original
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets.
(ubi sup.) Firmness and strength of walking by the way of wisdom in good habits is thus set before us, by which men are brought to purity and simplicity of heart; concerning which having spoken a long time, He thus concludes, All things whatsoever ye would, &c. For there is no man who would that another should act towards him with a double heart.
