Bible Note: The assumption then my friend, is mingled with the commandment and many times at that. If I am a hater of myself, and am not right with my Lord, how can I effectually commit myself to His work for me? We have responsibilities that sometimes do involve putting our house in order, do you not agree? “This commandment means, evidently: 1. That we should not injure our neighbor in his person, property, or character. 2. That we should not be selfish, but should seek to do him good. 3. That in a case of debt, difference, or debate, we should do what is right, regarding his interest as much as our own. 4. That we should treat his character, property, etc., as we do our own, according to what is right. 5. That, in order to benefit him, we should practice self-denial, or do as we would wish him to do to us, Mat_7:12. It does not mean: 1. That the love of ourselves, according to what we are, or according to truth, is improper. The happiness of myself is of as much importance as that of any other man, and it is as proper that it should be sought. 2. It does not mean that I am to neglect my own business to take care of my neighbor’s. My happiness, salvation, health, and family are committed especially to myself; and, provided I do not interfere with my neighbor’s rights or violate my obligations to him, it is my duty to seek the welfare of my own as my first duty, 1Ti_5:8, 1Ti_5:13; Tit_2:5. Mark adds to these commandments, “Defraud not;” by which he meant, doubtless, to express the substance of this to love our neighbor as ourselves. It means, literally, to take away the property of another by violence or by deceiving him, thus showing that he is not loved as we love ourselves.” – Albert Barnes Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: Stand in His grace, WOS |
