For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this;
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
All Commentaries on Galatians 5:14 Go To Galatians 5
Gaius Marius Victorinus
AD 400
The whole work of the law is fulfilled by this one command: love. For one who loves another neither murders nor commits adultery nor steals…. Now Paul himself adds a text: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But we ought to understand by “neighbor” every human being and then constantly view Christ as our neighbor. “And you too must love one another but in the spirit.” Here he now seems, as if neglecting the previous question and discussion, to urge them to avoid discord. And this can happen if you love one another in the Spirit, not in the flesh nor for the works of the flesh nor in natural observances. For he who loves another feels no envy, nor steals from another, nor despises or abuses him. .
