John Chrysostom
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.
He says not, All things whatsoever, simply, but All things therefore, as though He should say, If ye will be heard, besides those things which I have now said to you, do this also. And He said not, Whatsoever you would have done for you by God, do that for your neighbour; lest you should say, But how can I? but He says, Whatsoever you would have done to you by your fellow-servant, do that also to your neighbour.
