Everything written in the Law and the Prophets is based on these two commandments.”
There’s a commandment that says, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” That one command sums up all the others, including “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not commit murder,” “Do not steal,” and, “Don’t want what belongs to others.”
In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. That sums up the Law and the Prophets.
The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
If you really keep the royal law that’s found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself,” you’ll be doing what’s right.
I’m commanding you to do this for the sake of love, which comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and sincere faith.
You can obey the entire law by following this one command: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
