33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding,1 with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, ais more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
b‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’
