Love One Another

8 Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for he who loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “Yoʋ shall not commit adultery, Yoʋ shall not murder, Yoʋ shall not steal, [fn]Yoʋ shall not give false testimony, Yoʋ shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.” 10 Love does no harm to its neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

11 And do this, knowing that the hour has now come for [fn]us to be awakened from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over, and the day is almost here. So let us [fn]lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelries and drinking bouts, not in illicit affairs and sensual indulgences, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
