Romans 13:9-10 For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet… I. REACHES THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. 1. It keeps the whole law; not only its prohibitions, but also its precepts. 2. Keeps it perfectly, not only with the hands, but with the heart. 3. Is never weary. II. MAKES ITS PERFORMANCE EASY. 1. It draws help from a Divine source. 2. Supplies Divine strength. 3. Guarantees the Divinest reward. (J. Lyth, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
