¹⁰ Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.

Love Fulfills God’s Requirements

⁸ Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

³⁹ A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’^{[a] 40} The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud ⁵ or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. ⁶ It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. ⁷ Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
