The principle is found through-out the bible but the exact quote comes from Matthew 7:12 where Jesus says

"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." (New Living Translation, the wording differs depending on the translation)

  1. You shall not worship any other god
  2. You shall not make any likeness of another god
  3. You shall not take the name of your God in vain
  4. Rest on the seventh day of the week and keep it holy

These first 4 Commandments deal with humans' relationship with G-d.  The next 6 deal with how humans treat one another.

  1. Honor your parents
  2. Don't kill or harm others
  3. Don't commit adultery
  4. Don't steal from others
  5. Don't say lies or bad things about others
  6. Don't covet or be jealous about others' property or relationships

 In summary, the last 6 commandments are saying that you should do unto others as you would want one to do unto you... this phrase itself is not a commandment.  It was Hillel the Elder that said these words for the first time, and they were passed along in the oral tradition of the bible.  I hope this helps

It was in the Bible. It was said by Jesus and it appears on Matthew 7:12.

I try to live by the motto of treating others the way I want treated.

Please note that nobody really answers the question. No, this familiar wording is not in the King James Bible, and I would like to know where it comes from. Anyone?
