Romans 13:8

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Owe {G3784} no man {G3367} any thing {G3367}, but {G1508} to love {G25} one another {G240}: for {G1063} he that loveth {G25} another {G2087} hath fulfilled {G4137} the law {G3551}.

Don’t owe anyone anything — except to love one another; for whoever loves his fellow human being has fulfilled Torah.

Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.
