A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Owe no man anything, but to love one another--"Acquit yourselves of all obligations except love, which is a debt that must remain ever due" [HODGE].

for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law--for the law itself is but love in manifold action, regarded as matter of duty.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
