Romans13:10

10. Love worketh no ill to his Neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law .

This Verse is an Argument to prove what was proposed, ver. 8. It may thus be formed, That which worketh no ill, or doth no hurt to our Neighbour, fulfilleth the Law: But Love worketh no ill to his Neighbour. Ergo, That this is the property of Love, vid. 1 Cor. 13.5. When he saith, Love doth no hurt, this is imply'd, That it doth good to his Neighbour. Where only Negatives are mentioned, the Affirmative also is included; and the Negative is only set down in this place, that it may the better correspond with the foregoing Verse.

Marginal references: Mat. 22.40. ver. 8.
