THE COMMANDMENTS
THE GREATEST COMMANDMENTS
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind. This is the first and
great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
