Deuteronomy 5:10 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Them that love me. — We have an echo of this commandment in the words of our Saviour: “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). The promise of His presence with us through the “other Comforter” compensates for the absence of any visible image. As love in this verse is practical, so is hatred in the previous verse. To hate God is to disobey His commandments.
