Matthew 22:34 - 22:40

The Foremost Commandment

34 But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.
35 And one of them, a scholar of the Law, asked Him a question, testing Him, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”

Romans 13:10

10 Love does not work evil against a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.

Galatians 5:14

14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Galatians 5:22 - 5:23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
