Love your God with all your heart and all your strength and love your brother as yourself. In doing these you are doing all that is required.

But loving your God is expansive and without that first you can't love your brother. If you have sex out of wedlock or have sex with an already married person, if you lie (about anything) steal anything, gossip, talk ill about your brothers, curse, etc. all these things you would not do in God's presence. But you do if you think He does not see you or care. So it is difficult at best to think you love God if you do not do the things He asks.

The Golden Rule: Matthew 7:12

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Many Christians, as those who live by other ethical traditions, believe that the Golden Rule is one of the most basic guides to behavior. It centers one's behavior with the individual, rather than foisting it onto others.

Some espouse that Christians interpret the ethic of reciprocity more as, "Do unto others as they do unto you," instead of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you;" however, this is more an example of the premise those ones espouse than an objective understanding.

Unfortunately, emotions cloud perception. Christians are no different than anyone else, and individual acts or reactions to perceived ill treatment may serve to illustrate the whole person. After all, "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones" This is mistake, a fault in logic, similar to that illustrated by the story of the blind men and the elephant. One cannot judge the whole beast by touching only part of it.

Love thy neighbor as thyself.

What this means is that you should treat everyone as you would like to be treated.
