For budene, "Du skal ikke bryte ekteskapet," "Du skal ikke drepe," "Du skal ikke stjele," "Du skal ikke vitne falskt," "Du skal ikke begjære," og eventuelle andre bud, oppsummeres i dette ordet, nemlig: "Du skal elske din neste som deg selv."
For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet,"{TR adds "You shall not give false testimony,"} and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
