MATTHEW 22:39 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets. The entirety of the Law and the Prophets — all of Scripture — depends on the two love commandments. Depends (kremantai, literally hangs) communicates that the two commandments are the structure from which everything else is suspended. Romans 13:9 says the law is summed up in this one command: love your neighbor as yourself. Galatians 5:14 says the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command.
