Explanation preview
Jesus is speaking to his disciples and the crowds in the Sermon on the Mount, drawing together what he has just taught about judging others, prayer, and God's fatherly goodness. The word "then" links the verse to what precedes it: because God gives good gifts to those who ask, his children should treat others as they themselves want to be treated.
