On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
The commandments, “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, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
“In everything do to others as you would have them do to you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
But the aim of such instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith.
For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
