“Whatever you want that men should do to yyou, do likewise to them, for this is the law and the prophets.”
Is this verse saying that you should treat people the way you want to be treated because this is what the law & prophets teach? Seems like it, but I can’t figure out how it fits with the verses before and after. Am I missing anything?

Hi Token!
You are not missing anything. There is no specific connection between this verse and the surrounding ones. If you will notice, Jesus speaks randomly about various subjects throughout the Sermon on the Mount.
And yes, you are seeing rightly Jesus’ point in this verse.
