What are the Greatest Commandments?
Which set of law is Paul only quoting from to summarize the greatest commandment to love thy neighbor?
The Ten Commandments...
Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” [b]“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
The summary does not delete the details. Love to our fellow man is summarized in the last 6 commandments, love to God is summarized in the first 4 commandments which makes the greatest commandments to love God and love they neighbor
Jesus said:
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
So the whole bible hangs on the principles of the Ten Commandments- love to God, love to our fellow man. Love never went undefined
1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome
