Galatians 5:13-14

13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. ^aOnly do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love ^bserve one another. 14 For ^cthe whole law is fulfilled in one word: ^d“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

James 2:8-12

8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ^e“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you ^fshow partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point ^ghas become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, ^h“Do not commit adultery,” also said, ⁱ“Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under ^jthe law of liberty.
