Romans 13:9-11
Living Bible
9 If you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself you will not want to harm or cheat him, or kill him or steal from him. And you won’t sin with his wife or want what is his, or do anything else the Ten Commandments say is wrong. All ten are wrapped up in this one, to love your neighbor as you love yourself. 10 Love does no wrong to anyone. That’s why it fully satisfies all of God’s requirements. It is the only law you need.
11 Another reason for right living is this: you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for the coming of the Lord is nearer now than when we first believed.

Romans 13:9-11
New International Version
9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[a](A) and whatever other command there may be, are summed up(B) in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b](C) 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.(D)
The Day Is Near
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come(E) for you to wake up from your slumber,(F) because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
