Second reading: Romans 13:8-10 |
Avoid getting into debt, except the debt of mutual love. If you love your fellow men you have carried out your obligations. All the commandments:
You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command:
You must love your neighbour as yourself. Love is the one thing that cannot hurt your neighbour; that is why it is the answer to every one of the commandments.
