Romans 13:9-10 For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet… Love is — I. THE BEST EXPOSITOR OF THE LAW. It teaches us to keep it — 1. Conscientiously as in the sight of God. 2. Sincerely with the whole heart. 3. Fully in every point. 4. Perfectly, not merely negatively. II. THE BEST KEEPER OF THE LAW. It fulfils it with — 1. Delight. 2. All its strength. 3. Constancy. (J. Lyth, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
