“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”
Let no debt remain outstanding, except for the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. — Opheilē (debt, obligation) should be discharged except agapē (love), which is perpetual (teleioō, complete, fulfill). This transition moves from civic obligation to the core commandment. Love of neighbor (heteroi, others) fulfills the entire nomoi (law), pointing toward Matthew 22:37-40's synthesis.
