Romans 13:8-14
Fulfilling the Law Through Love
8 aOwe no one anything, except to love each other, for bthe one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, a“You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: b“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore alove is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you ato wake from sleep. bFor salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12 aThe night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us bcast off cthe works of darkness and dput on the armor of light. 13 aLet us walk properly as in the daytime, bnot in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, cnot in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But aput on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, bto gratify its desires.
