Thematic Bible





AND behold, a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And he said to him, What is written in the law? how do you read? And he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. read more.
And he said to him, You have answered well; do this, and you shall live.

Owe no man any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another has fully performed the law. For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not desire inordinately, and if there is any other commandment, it is summarily comprehended in this word; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no evil to a neighbor; love therefore is the sum of the law.


Teacher, what is the great commandment in the law? And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. read more.
And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

And one of the scribes coming forward hearing them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, What commandment is first of all? Jesus answered, First is, Hear Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. read more.
Second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said to him, Well, teacher, you have said truly; there is one [God], and no other but him; and to love him with all the heart, and all the understanding, and all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.
