Matthew 22:36-40

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁶ Teacher, which ^[a]kind of commandment is great and important (the principal kind) in the Law? [Some commandments are light—which are heavy?]

³⁷ And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect).^(A)

³⁸ This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment.

³⁹ And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.^(B)

⁴⁰ These two commandments ^[b]sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets.
