- This area of Christian morality that deals with relationships between individuals is not meant to be anything new. The Golden Rule that Jesus and Moses spoke about is just "a summing up of what everyone, at bottom, had always known to be right."
- Christianity does not claim to have a particular plan for living out the 'Golden Rule' for each specific society or time period. It was and is meant to be a general framework that makes itself suitable and applicable for all societies and all time periods. "When it tells you to feed the hungry it does not give you lessons in cookery. When it tells you to read the Scriptures it does not give you lessons in Hebrew and Greek, or even in English grammar. It was never intended to replace or supersede the ordinary human arts and sciences: it is rather a director which will set them all to the right jobs, and a source of energy which will give them all new life, if only they will put themselves at its disposal."
- There would be no passengers or parasites
- Everyone would work and everyone's work would produce something good
- There would be no putting on airs
- Obedience and outward marks of respect would always be present
- It would be a cheerful society, full of singing and rejoicing
- Worry and anxiety would be badly regarded
- Everyone would be courteous, and no one would be a busybody
