The Bible is clear about not doing to others what we don’t want done to us. Matthew 7:12 says “So whatever you want men to do to you, you also do to them; because this is the law and the prophets». This is a basic principle of life and relationship with others. However, we often find ourselves doing the exact opposite.
What does the Bible say in Matthew 7 12
“Do not judge, for not being judged. For with the judgment with which you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure with which you measure, it will be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t you see the wood that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother: ‘Leave it, I’ll take the speck out of your eye’, when you yourself don’t see the wood that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the wood out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Do not do bad, but do good. Speak not, then, of one another, false brethren. Whoever speaks ill of his brother and whoever judges his brother speaks ill of the law and judges the law. If you then judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge. One is the lawgiver and judge, who is capable of saving and destroying. But you, who are you to judge your neighbor?”
What does Luke 6 31 say?
In Luke 6:31, Jesus says, “In short, treat others as you want others to treat you.” This verse is commonly known as “the Golden Rule,” and is one of the basic tenets of Jesus’ teaching.
By giving this advice, Jesus was not saying that we should be foolish and let others mistreat us. What he was saying is that, in general, we should treat others in the same way that we would like to be treated. This means that we should be kind, compassionate, and loving to others, even if we know they won’t treat us the same way.
Jesus knew that the world is not perfect, and that sometimes people will hurt us, but he wanted us to know that we must continue to be good, even when others are not. He wanted us to know that the best way to change the world is to be good ourselves, and expect others to do the same.
What does Ecclesiastes 7 1 say?
Ecclesiastes 7:1 says that “it is better to have a good name than riches.” The book of Ecclesiastes explores the transitory nature of life and how unstable riches are. Although riches can provide some comfort and stability, the name is something that stays with us even after death. That is why it is better to have a good name.
What does Colossians 3 18 say?
In Colossians 3 18, Paul urges believers to give themselves completely to God’s work, and to do everything possible to live at peace with everyone. He also tells them to be kind and understanding, and to always be ready to forgive others, just as God has forgiven them.
In this scripture, God instructs us not to do to others what we don’t want them to do to ourselves. We must love our neighbor as ourselves and treat others with respect and compassion. This is the true essence of the Gospel and a principle that we should follow in our lives.
