Saint Paul (13,8-10)

One who loves his neighbor does not harm him; That is why to love is to fulfill the entire law. Paul of Tarsus (Tarsus, Cilicia 5-10 AD. Rome, 58-67)

Reading from the letter of the apostle Saint Paul to the Romans (13:8-10): Do not owe anyone anything but love; because he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the rest of the law. In fact, “you shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not envy” and the other commandments that there are, are summarized in this phrase: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” One who loves his neighbor does not harm him; That is why to love is to fulfill the entire law.
