For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Ver. 14. For all the law] i.e. All the second table. The Scripture often appropriateth the law to the second table, as Romans 13:8; Ephesians 6:2, &c. A man must exercise the first table in the second, the duties of his general calling in his particular calling. In the first commandment, saith Luther, the keeping of all the laws is enjoined, Primo praecepto reliquorum omnium observantia praecipitur. Neither can any one love his neighbour as himself, but he that loves God above all.
