Charles Spurgeon Commentary Galatians 5:14

"For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." — Galatians 5:14 (ASV)

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

The legal spirit is all for expansion; it multiplies its commands, and lays down its ritual for this, and that, and the other; but the gospel spirit is all for condensation. It has condensed the whole law into a single word, that is "love."

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Oh, if that "one word" were so engraved on our hearts as to influence all our lives, what blessed lives of love to God and love to men we should lead!
