“Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”
Love does not harm its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. — Agapē (love) ouk ergaetai (does not work, accomplish) to kakos (evil, harm) toward the neighbor. Plērōma (fullness, fulfillment, completion) of nomos (law) is agapē—not in the sense of abolishing law but consuming it, directing all its commandments toward love. Love is the law's telos (goal, end, purpose).
