CHAPTER TWO YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2196
In response to the question about the first of the commandments, Jesus says:
“The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ the second is this, ‘You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than
these.”²
The apostle St. Paul reminds us of this: “He who loves his neighbor has
fulfilled the law. the commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery, You shall
not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,’ and any other commandment,
are summed up in this sentence, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the
law.”³
