And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.” But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.
For 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.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
