From a letter written by the apostle Paul
to believers in Rome:
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.-Romans 13:8-14***In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, months after Moses and his older brother Aaron led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, the Israelites went through procedures of consecration and heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them. The 1st commandment was that the Israelites must have no other gods before the Lord God, and the 2nd commandment was that the Israelites must not make any type of idol. The 3rd commandment was that the Israelites must not take the name of the Lord God in vain. The 4th commandment was that the Israelites remember the Sabbath day, and the 5th commandment was that the Israelites honor their parents. The other 5 commandments are listed above, from a portion of the divinely inspired message sent by the apostle Paul (Saul) to believers in Rome. Paul's words to the Romans corresponded to the messages of love taught years earlier by Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, before Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 4:1-13:18, 18:14-22, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Romans
Reference Scripture:
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.-Galatians 5:14
