Тов 4:15 и Мф 7:12: две формулировки одного правила?

Abstract

It is commonly thought that the so called ”Golden Rule” has got two wordings, positive and
negative (both of them are expressed in the Bible: the fi rst one in The New Testament (Mat 7:12),
the second one – in The Old Testament (Tob 4:15)). The following letter expresses some doubts
in the possibility of expressing the ”negative wording” as a converse (consequence) of the ”positive one” and vice versa.
