Luke 631

Luke 6:31 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, found in the Gospel of Luke. The verse is part of the Sermon on the Plain, where Jesus Christ delivers teachings to his disciples and a large crowd. The verse reads: "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." This passage is often referred to as the Golden Rule, a principle that encourages people to treat others as they themselves would like to be treated. The concept is central to Christian ethics and is echoed in various forms in other religious and philosophical traditions. In Hebrew, the phrase "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise" can be translated as "וְכַאֲשֶׁר תִּרְצוּ שֶׁיַּעֲשׂוּ לָכֶם הָאֲנָשִׁים, כֵּן תַּעֲשׂוּ גַּם אַתֶּם לָהֶם." In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, it is written as "καὶ καθὼς θέλετε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς ὁμοίως." The verse emphasizes mutual respect, empathy, and kindness, and it serves as a foundational teaching for ethical behavior in Christian communities.
