Matt 7:12 · Douay-Rheims
“All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.”
On this verse:
“(De Trin. viii. 7.) Otherwise; Scripture does not mention the love of God, where it says, All things whatsoever ye would; because he who loves his neighbour must consequently love Love itself above all things; but God is Love; therefore he loves God above all things.”
