Matt 22:40

22:40 all the Law and the Prophets. A way of referring to the entire Old Testament. Love fulfills the law because it sums up God’s commandments and motivates obedience to them (Rom. 13:8–10; 1 Cor. 13). It does not dissolve God’s norms for conduct, but illumines and deepens them (5:17; Rom. 8:4). See “The Law of God” at Ex. 20:1.
