Romans 13:8-10

Fulfilling the Law Through Love

8 w Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for x the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, y "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: z "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore a love is the fulfilling of the law.
