Chapter 11 – Loving One’s Neighbor as Oneself – Items 1 – 2

The Greatest Commandment

1. The Pharisees, having  learned that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered together. And one of them, a doctor of the law, came to him to ask him this question in order to test him: “Master, which  is the greatest commandment of the law?” Jesus answered  him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind; this is the greatest and first commandment. And this is the second, which is similar to it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets are contained  in these two commandments.” (Mt. 22:34-40)

2. Do unto men everything you would want them to do unto you, for such is the law and the prophets. (Mt. 7:12)

Treat all men just as you would want them to treat you. (Lk. 6:31)
