10 La carità non opera male alcuno contro al prossimo; l’adempimento adunque della legge è la carità.

Romani 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 13:10

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour
That is, the man that truly loves his neighbour, will contrive no ill against him, nor do any to him; he will not injure his person, nor defile his bed, nor deprive or defraud him of his substance; or do hurt to his character, bear false testimony against him, or covet with an evil covetousness anything that is his; but, on the contrary, will do him all the good he is capable of:

therefore love is the fulfilling of the law:
so far as a man loves his neighbour, he acts agreeably to the law, and the particular precepts of it above mentioned: what the apostle says of love to the neighbour, the Jews frequently say of love to God;

``he that loveth God (they say F4) (Nryma rve Myyqm) , "hath fulfilled the decalogue", both above and below.''

And again F5,

``there is no service like the love of God, R. Abba saith it is (atyyrwad allk) , "the sum of the law"; for the ten words of the law (wlylkta akh) , "are herein comprehended", or "fulfilled":''

and elsewhere F6 they observe,

``that (hbhab hlwlk hrwth lk) , "the whole law is comprehended", or fulfilled "in love".''

Romani 13:10 In-Context

8 NON dobbiate nulla ad alcuno, se non di amarvi gli uni gli altri; perciocchè, chi ama altrui ha adempiuta la legge.
9 Poichè questi comandamenti: Non commettere adulterio, Non uccidere, Non rubare, Non dir falsa testimonianza, Non concupire, e se v’è alcun altro comandamento, sono sommariamente compresi in questo detto: Ama il tuo prossimo come te stesso.
10 La carità non opera male alcuno contro al prossimo; l’adempimento adunque della legge è la carità.
11 E questo vie più dobbiam fare, veggendo il tempo; perciocchè egli è ora che noi ci risvegliamo omai dal sonno; poichè la salute è ora più presso di noi, che quando credemmo.
12 La notte è avanzata, e il giorno è vicino; gettiamo adunque via le opere delle tenebre, e siam vestiti degli arnesi della luce.
