Matthew22:38
Verse 38. This is the first and great Commandment] In respect of order, quantity and dignity. The second table is fulfilled in the first, and Luther is bold to say, Primo praecepto reliquorum omnium observantia praecipitur, In the first Commandment is commanded the keeping of all the rest. We rightly love our very selves no further then we love God: And for others, we are bound to love our friends in him, our foes for him.
