Origen on the Golden Rule

"'Be of one mind toward one another.' These words have become rather obscure in translation, not in essence. What he [Paul] is saying is that we should be as mindful of our brother as we are of our own selves; and thus we should wish for our neighbor as we also wish for own (sic!) selves. As even the Lord said in the Gospel, 'Do unto others the same things you wish men to do unto you.'" (In Rom. 9.16)
