| Tobit 4:16 | *See thou never do to another what thou wouldst hate to have done to thee by another. Matthew 7:12.; Luke 6:31. | Another. Behold the grand maxim of fraternal charity, Matthew 8:12. Alex. Severus was so much pleased with it, that he had it often repeated by a herald, and inscribed on public edifices. What thou wouldst not have done to thee, do not thou to another. (Lamprid.) --- Greek and Hebrew add a caution against drunkenness and drunken companions. Fagius has another against revenge; and the old Vulgate, "give not way to wickedness." |
