Romans 13:8

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Owe ye nothing to none, except to love one another: for he loving another has completed the law.

See the chapter Copy

Love works no evil to the neighbor: love therefore the completion of the law.

For all the law is completed in one word, in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Therefore all whatever ye would that men should do to you, so also do ye to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Therefore restore debts to all; to whom tribute, tribute; to whom recompense, recompense; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

If yet ye complete the royal law according to the writing, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

And over all these, love, which is the bond of completion.

A new command give I to you, That ye love one another: as I loved you, that ye also love one another.

(And the end of the proclamation is love out of a pure heart, and a good consciousness, and unfeigned faith:

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the accuser: every one not doing justice is not of God, and he not loving his brother.
