We should cultivate the habit, not of judging people, but of trying to understand them by putting ourselves in their place ​ — not an easy thing to do but a necessary thing if we are to abide by the Golden Rule, which Jesus next proclaimed: “All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them; this, in fact, is what the Law and the Prophets mean. ”
Me peaksime arendama harjumust mitte mõista kohut inimeste üle, vaid püüdma neid mõista, asetades ennast nende kohale — seda pole kerge teha, kuid see on vajalik, kui tahame järgida kuldset reeglit, mille Jeesus järgmisena teatavaks tegi: „Sellepärast kõik, mida te tahate, et inimesed teile teevad, tehke ka neile; sest see on käsuõpetus ja prohvetid. ”
