“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8
Paul is saying that he does not oppose all loans, but urges us to pay whatever we owe. Just before this verse Paul said to pay taxes as owed; but here, he speaks of a “continuing debt” … to love others. Love is a debt that can never paid in full.
If one could “fulfill the law” (keep all commandments), one could be made righteous before God. However, earlier Paul excluded that possibility because of our sinfulness (Romans 3:20, “No one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law.”). But here, he says strive to live according to God’s Law because we have been declared righteous by the grace of God, meaning the blood of Christ and His resurrection.
God’s blessings on your day…
