⁸ If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ^(A)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

^18 (A)You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but ^(B)you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

¹⁴ For ^(A)the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ^(B)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

¹² So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under ^(A)the law of liberty.

³⁹ And ^(A)a second is like it: ^(B)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Fulfilling the Law Through Love

^8 (A)Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for ^(B)the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. ⁹ For the commandments, ^(C)“You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: ^(D)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

^31 (A)The second is this: ^(B)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment ^(C)greater than these.” ³² And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that ^(D)he is one, and ^(E)there is no other besides him. ³³ And to love him with all the heart and with all ^(F)the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, ^(G)is much more than all ^(H)whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

^2 (A)Bear one another's burdens, and ^(B)so fulfill ^(C)the law of Christ.

^34 (A)You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and ^(B)you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
