Romans 13:8-10
New King James Version
Love Your Neighbor(A)
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for (B)he 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,” [a]“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, (D)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore (E)love is the fulfillment of the law.

Mark 12:29-34
New King James Version
29 Jesus answered him, “The [a]first of all the commandments is: (A)‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall (B)love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [b]This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: (C)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than (D)these.”
32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, (E)and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, [c]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, (F)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
(G)But after that no one dared question Him.
