성경구절
The Lord said to Moses, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbour as yourself. I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:18) “원수를 갚지 말며 동포를 원망하지 말며 네 이웃 사랑하기를 네 자신과 같이 사랑하라 나는 여호와이니라.” (레위기 19:18) So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12) “그러므로 무엇이든지 남에게 대접을 받고자 하는 대로 너희도 남을 대접하라 이것이 율법이요 선지자니라.”(마태복음 7:12) Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luke 6:31) “남에게 대접을 받고자 하는대로 너희도 남을 대접하라.” (누가복음 6:31)
