Romans 13:10
Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
from Love Fulfills the Law, Romans 13:8-10
What it says

Love refuses injury, and for that reason it fulfills what the law was always aiming at.

What it is doing

This verse concludes the section by naming neighbor-love as the practical completion of the law.

In context

8Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
