8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.(A) 9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.(B) 11 For the one who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but you murder, you have become a transgressor of[a] the law.(C) 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.(D)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 My point is this: the law, which came four hundred thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.(A) 18 For if the inheritance comes from the law, it no longer comes from the promise, but God granted it to Abraham through the promise.(B)
The Purpose of the Law
19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring[a] would come to whom the promise had been made, and it was ordained through angels by a mediator.(C)

17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years(A) later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise;(B) but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions(C) until the Seed(D) to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels(E) and entrusted to a mediator.(F)

Love for One Another
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.(A) 9 The commandments, “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, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”(B) 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.(C)

Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.(E)
