Question: does the bible say do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Answer: Yes, The ``Golden Rule'' was given by Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 7:12 NCV, see also Luke 6:31). The common English phrasing is ``Do unto others as you would have them do unto you''. A similar form of the phrase appeared in a Catholic catechism around 1567 (certainly in the reprint of 1583). The Golden Rule is stated positively numerous times in the Old Testament: Leviticus 19:18 (``Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.''; see also Great Commandment) and Leviticus 19:34 (``But treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love foreigners as you love yourselves, because you were foreigners one time in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.'').
