Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. I. A GREAT DEBT. 1. As due to so many — all men. 2. Requiring so much to pay it — sometimes our life (1 John 3:16). II. A LASTING DEBT. Though always being paid, yet never discharged. The more that is paid the more is felt to be due. The principle is deepened and made more active by the practice. III. A PLEASANT DEBT (Philippians 2:1). Every payment of it gladdens and enlarges the heart. IV. AN HONOURABLE DEBT. 1. Necessary to our moral nature. 2. It makes us Godlike and Christlike (Ephesians 4:32; Ephesians 5:1, 2; 1 John 4:8). (T. Robinson, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. |
