Romans 13:8-11

34 The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

 

8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.  9 The commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet’; and any other commandment, are summed up in the word, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
