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 [26] worketh [2038] no [3756] ill [2556] to his neighbour [4139]: therefore [3767] love [26] is the fulfilling [4138] of the law [3551].
9 In like manner [5615] also [2532], that women [1135] adorn [2885] themselves [1438] in [1722] modest [2887] apparel [2689], with [3326] shamefacedness [127] and [2532] sobriety [4997]; not [3361] with [1722] broided hair [4117], or [2228] gold [5557], or [2228] pearls [3135], or [2228] costly [4185] array [2441];
5 For [1063] after this manner [3779] in the old time [4218] the holy [40] women [1135] also [2532], who [3588] trusted [1679] in [1909] God [2316], adorned [2885] themselves [1438], being in subjection [5293] unto their own [2398] husbands [435]:
3 Whose [3739] adorning [2889] let it [2077] not [3756] be [2077] that outward [1855] adorning of plaiting [1708] the hair [2359], and [2532] of wearing [4025] of gold [5553], or [2228] of putting on [1745] of apparel [2440];
12 Teaching [3811] us [2248] that [2443], denying [720] ungodliness [763] and [2532] worldly [2886] lusts [1939], we should live [2198] soberly [4996], [2532] righteously [1346], and [2532] godly [2153], in [1722] this present [3568] world [165];
7 But [1161] the end [5056] of all things [3956] is at hand [1448]: be ye [4993] therefore [3767] sober [4993], and [2532] watch [3525] unto [1519] prayer [4335].
13 Wherefore [1352] gird up [328] the loins [3751] of your [5216] mind [1271], be sober [3525], and hope [1679] to the end [5049] for [1909] the grace [5485] that is to be brought [5342] unto you [5213] at [1722] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547];
8 But [1161] let [3525] us [2249], who are [5607] of the day [2250], be sober [3525], putting on [1746] the breastplate [2382] of faith [4102] and [2532] love [26]; and [2532] for an helmet [4030], the hope [1680] of salvation [4991].
6 Therefore [686] [3767] let us [2518] not [3361] sleep [2518], as [5613] [2532] do others [3062]; but [235] let us watch [1127] and [2532] be sober [3525].
25 Wherefore [1352] putting away [659] lying [5579], speak [2980] every man [1538] truth [225] with [3326] his [846] neighbour [4139]: for [3754] we are [2070] members [3196] one of another [240].
10 For [1063] even [2532] when [3753] we were [2258] with [4314] you [5209], this [5124] we commanded [3853] you [5213], that [3754] if any [1536] would [2309] not [3756] work [2038], neither [3366] should he eat [2068].
11 And [2532] that ye study [5389] to be quiet [2270], and [2532] to do [4238] your own business [2398], and [2532] to work with [2038] your [5216] own [2398] hands [5495], as [2531] we commanded [3853] you [5213];
30 I went [05674] by the field [07704] of the slothful [0376] [06102], and by the vineyard [03754] of the man [0120] void [02638] of understanding [03820];
31 And, lo, it was all grown over [05927] with thorns [07063], and nettles [02738] had covered [03680] the face [06440] thereof, and the stone [068] wall [01444] thereof was broken down [02040].
32 Then I saw [02372], and considered it well [07896] [03820]: I looked [07200] upon it, and received [03947] instruction [04148].
33 Yet a little [04592] sleep [08142], a little [04592] slumber [08572], a little [04592] folding [02264] of the hands [03027] to sleep [07901]:
34 So shall thy poverty [07389] come [0935] as one that travelleth [01980]; and thy want [04270] as an armed [04043] man [0376].
8 Finally [3063], brethren [80], whatsoever things [3745] are [2076] true [227], whatsoever things [3745] are honest [4586], whatsoever things [3745] are just [1342], whatsoever things [3745] are pure [53], whatsoever things [3745] are lovely [4375], whatsoever things [3745] are of good report [2163]; if there be any [1536] virtue [703], and [2532] if there be any [1536] praise [1868], think [3049] on these things [5023].
11 Not [3361] slothful [3636] in business [4710]; fervent [2204] in spirit [4151]; serving [1398] the Lord [2962];
10 Love [26] worketh [2038] no [3756] ill [2556] to his neighbour [4139]: therefore [3767] love [26] is the fulfilling [4138] of the law [3551].
7 The rich [06223] ruleth [04910] over the poor [07326], and the borrower [03867] is servant [05650] to the lender [0376] [03867].
13 Thou shalt not defraud [06231] thy neighbour [07453], neither rob [01497] him: the wages [06468] of him that is hired [07916] shall not abide [03885] with thee all night until the morning [01242].
