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.
(Serm. in Mont. ii. 22.) This precept seems to refer to the love of our neighbour, not of God, as in another place He says, there are two commandments on which hang the Law and the Prophets. But as He says not here, The whole Law, as He speaks there, He reserves a place for the other commandment respecting the love of God.
