¹⁴ For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

¹² All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁸ Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

³⁹ And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

⁴⁰ On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based.

² Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

⁸ Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law.

⁹ And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

¹⁰ Love does no wrong to his neighbour, so love makes the law complete.

⁸ But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

⁹ But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.

¹⁰ For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

¹¹ For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken.

³¹ The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.

¹⁸ He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

¹⁹ Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

²⁷ And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.

²⁸ And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.

²⁹ But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

³⁰ And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.

³¹ And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.

³² And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.

³³ But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,

³⁴ And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.

³⁵ And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

³⁶ Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?

³⁷ And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.

⁵ But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:

³⁴ I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

³³ And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.

³⁴ Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
