uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

μηδενὶ μηδὲν ὀφείλετε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδενί μηδέν ὀφείλετε εἰ μή τό ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν ὁ γάρ ἀγαπῶν τόν ἕτερον νόμον πεπλήρωκεν)

If your readers would misunderstand this double negative, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [Do not owe anyone anything]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μηδενὶ μηδὲν ὀφείλετε, εἰ μὴ τὸ ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν

Here Paul speaks of loving other believers as if it were a debt owed to them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [Owe nothing to anyone, but love one another as if it were a debt that you owed them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ἀλλήλους

Here, one another refers to other Christians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [other believers]

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

νόμον

˓the˒_law

See how you translated the law in [2:12](../02/12.md).

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

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.
