A definition of the golden rule is "a basic principle that should be followed to ensure success in general or in a particular activity."


We see an example of a biblical rule of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12).

The Golden Rule or Golden law of reciprocity is the principle of treating others according to the standards you would wish to be treated by. It might not always bring about a moral conclusion but it assumes that you would want others to help you if you were in need but some assume an indifference to mutual aid which may not be the case when a need arises.

In practice it is normally thought to be a maxim of altruism seen in many religions and cultures.

The maxim may appear as either a positive or negative injunction governing conduct:

  • A positive or directive form or view is that one should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.
  • A negative or prohibitive form is that one should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.
  • An empathic or responsive form is that what you wish upon others, you wish upon yourself.

The Golden Rule is a unilateral moral commitment to the well-being of the other without the expectation of anything in return.

The concept occurs in some form in nearly every religion and ethical tradition.

Understanding what Religion use to mean and the application of pure religion requires the implementation of the Golden rule in our routine practice of a daily ministration addressing the needs of our society and because it is a maxims would also include not neglecting the needs of neighboring societies.

Caring about others always requires some sacrifice[1] of the selfish nature to care for yourself more than others.

Both Moses and Jesus along with the Apostles said:

Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

Moses even instituted the the sacrifice of the Red Heifer which was merely a form of foreign aid.
