Romans 13:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for (A)the one who loves [a]his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. 9 For this, “(B)You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “(C)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love [b]does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore (D)love is the fulfillment of the Law.
