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. ⁹For 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.” ¹⁰Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore ^(E)love is the fulfilling of the law.
