This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





This verse is an argument to prove what was proposed, Rom_13:8. It may thus be formed: That which worketh no ill, or doth no hurt to our neighbour, fulfilleth the law: but



love worketh no ill to his neighbour; ergo. That this is the property of love, see 1Co_13:4,5. When he saith, Love doth no hurt, this is implied, that it doth good to his neighbour. Where only negatives are mentioned, the affirmative also is included; and the negative only is set down in this place, that it may the better correspond with the foregoing verse.
