And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none
other commandment greater than these.
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
