Romans 13:10

Romans 13:10

Love Your Neighbor

8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for ^ahe who loves another has fulfilled the law.

9 For the commandments, ^a“You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,”¹ “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, ^b“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore ^alove is the fulfillment of the law.

Put on Christ

11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time ^ato awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. ^aTherefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and ^blet us put on the armor of light.

13 ^aLet us walk¹ properly, as in the day, ^bnot in revelry and drunkenness, ^cnot in lewdness and lust, ^dnot in strife and envy.

Love worketh no ill to his—or, "one's"

neighbour; therefore, etc.—As love, from its very nature, studies and delights to please its objects, its very existence is an effectual security against our wilfully injuring him. Next follow some general motives to the faithful discharge of all these duties.
