Romans 13:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

Loving Others Is the Only Law

⁸ You should owe nothing to anyone, except that you will always owe love to each other. The person who loves others has done all that the law commands. ⁹ The law says, “You must not commit adultery, you must not murder anyone, you must not steal, you must not want what belongs to someone else.”^[a] All these commands and all other commands are really only one rule: “Love your neighbor^[b] the same as you love yourself.”^{[c] 10} Love doesn’t hurt others. So loving is the same as obeying all the law.
