This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

That men should do unto you (hina poiōsin hūmŒn hoi anthrōpoi). Luke (Luk 6:31) puts the Golden Rule parallel with Mat 5:42. The negative form is in Tobit 4:15. It was used by Hillel, Philo, Isocrates, Confucius. “The Golden Rule is the distilled essence of that ‘fulfilment’ (Mat 5:17) which is taught in the sermon” (McNeile). Jesus puts it in positive form.
