You shall not murder.

Earlier text

Leviticus 19:18BSB

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

Significance

Paul follows Jesus' interpretation (Matt 22:39-40) that love of neighbor fulfills the law's second table. Similar to Hillel's formulation but with eschatological fulfillment through Christ. Love is not just principle but present reality in Christ.
