13.8 Nemini quidquam. Pax ad omnes, dilectio inter fratres. Aliter enim vere fratres non sunt. Diligatis. Mentio fit hic de charitate, quia valet ad hanc humilitatem. Sola enim charitas est, quæ etiam reddita semper retinet debitorem. Redditur enim cum impenditur, debetur autem etiam si reddita fuerit, quia nullum est tempus quo impendenda non sit. Nec cum redditur, amittitur, sed potius reddendo multiplicatur; habendo enim redditur, non carendo, ut pecunia quæ reddi non potest, nisi habeatur; nec haberi, nisi reddatur, imo cum redditur ab homine, crescit in homine; et tanto major acquiritur, quanto pluribus redditur. Diligit proximum. Cum duo præcepta sint charitatis, pro utroque unum sæpe ponitur, quia nec Deus sine proximo, nec sine Deo proximus diligitur vel potest diligi. Dilectio proximi in factis apparet, dilectio Dei amplius latet, et ideo hanc specialius ponit, de qua Dominus ait: Mandatum novum do vobis, ut diligatis invicem, ubi illud mandatum majus dilectionis Dei videtur esse prætermissum. Sed bene intelligentibus utrumque invenitur in singulis; quia qui diligit Deum, nec potest eum contemnere quem Deus præcipit diligi, et qui sancte ac spiritualiter diligit proximum, quid in illo diligit nisi Deum? Proximum, legem implevit. Omnem hominem intelligi oportet per proximum, quia nemo est, cum quo sit operandum malum. Qui ergo amat homines, aut quia justi sunt, aut ut justi sint amare debet. Sic enim et seipsum amare debet, scilicet, vel quia justus est, vel ut justus sit. Qui enim aliter se diligit, injuste se diligit, quia ad hoc se diligit ut sit injustus, ad hoc ergo ut sit malus: ergo jam se non diligit; qui enim diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.
13.8 Nemini quidquam. Pax to omnes, dilectio between fratres. Aliter because vere fratres not/no sunt. Diligatis. Mentio fit this about charitate, because valet to hanc humilitatem. Sola because charitas it_is, which also reddita semper retinet debitorem. Redditur because cum impenditur, debetur however also when/but_if reddita has_been, because nullum it_is tempus quo impendenda not/no sit. Nec cum redditur, amittitur, but potius reddendo multiplicatur; habendo because redditur, not/no carendo, as pecunia which reddi not/no potest, nisi habeatur; but_not haberi, nisi reddatur, imo cum redditur away homine, crescit in homine; and tanto mayor acquiritur, quanto pluribus redditur. Diligit proximum. Since two præcepta sint charitatis, pro utroque unum sæpe ponitur, because but_not God without proximo, but_not without Deo proximus diligitur or potest diligi. Dilectio proximi in factis apparet, dilectio Dei amplius latet, and ideo hanc specialius ponit, about which Master ait: Mandatum new do vobis, as diligatis invicem, ubi illud mandatum mayus dilectionis Dei videtur esse prætermissum. Sed bene intelligentibus utrumque invenitur in singulis; because who diligit God, but_not potest him contemnere which God præcipit diligi, and who sancte ac spiritualiter diligit proximum, quid in illo diligit nisi God? Proximum, legem implevit. Omnem hominem intelligi oportet per proximum, because nemo it_is, cum quo sit operandum malum. Who ergo amat homines, aut because justi are, aut as justi sint amare debet. So because and seipsum amare debet, scilicet, or because justus it_is, or as justus sit. Who because aliter se diligit, injuste se diligit, because to hoc se diligit as sit injustus, to hoc ergo as sit malus: ergo yam se not/no diligit; who because diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.

13:8 αγαπαν αλληλους ¦ αλληλους αγαπαν CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
13:8 The idea of obligation is the hinge that connects 13:1-7 and 13:8-10. Christians are to “give to everyone what [they] owe them” (13:7), and Christians always owe love to their neighbors.
• Owe nothing to anyone: Debts are not sinful but should be avoided and, if incurred, should be promptly repaid so that the believer is free to serve in love (see Prov 22:7).
• love one another: Believers are called to love all those they encounter (Rom 12:14-21; Luke 10:25-37), but the phrase especially emphasizes the love that each believer owes to other believers.
• you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law: This teaching closely follows Jesus’ teaching in Matt 22:34-40.
