"A right answer!" said Jesus; "do that and you will live."

There is a second like it: you must love your neighbour as yourself. The whole Law and the prophets hang upon these two commands."

Also, to love him with the whole heart, with the whole understanding, and with the whole strength, and to love one's neighbour as oneself ??that is far more than all holocausts and sacrifices."
