You have truly said that rhe is one, and sthere is no other besides him. 33And to love him with all the heart and with all tthe understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, uis much more than all vwhole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” wAnd after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Fulfilling the Law Through Love

8 xOwe no one anything, except to love each other, for ythe one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9For the commandments, z“You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: aa“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore ablove is the fulfilling of the law.
