New Testament Word & Image: Romans 13:8-10 and Robert Indiana

Love, New York City, Robert Indiana

Romans 13:8-10

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 

Ahava (Love in Hebrew), Jerusalem, Robert Indiana
For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” 
Amor (Love in Spanish), Valencia, Spain, Robert Indiana
and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Chinese versions of Robert Indiana's 'LOVE' painting
Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Love Cross, Robert Indiana
