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.

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

³⁹ And ^(A)a second is like it: ^(B)You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ^40 (C)On these two commandments depend ^(D)all the Law and the Prophets.”

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

The Golden Rule

¹² “So ^(A)whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is ^(B)the Law and the Prophets.

^7 (A)Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

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

¹⁴ And above all these put on ^(A)love, which ^(B)binds everything together in ^(C)perfect harmony.

^34 (A)A new commandment ^(B)I give to you, ^(C)that you love one another: ^(D)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
