Romans 13:8-11

⁸Pay all of your debts when you are supposed to pay them. The only thing that is like a debt that you should never stop paying is to love one another. Whoever loves others has fulfilled all that God requires in his laws.

⁹There are many things that God commanded in his laws, such as do not commit adultery, do not murder anyone, do not steal, and do not desire anything that belongs to someone else. But the command by which they are all summed up {that includes them all} is this: Each of you must love the people with whom you come in contact, just like you (sg) love yourself.

¹⁰If you love people with whom you come in contact PRS, you will not do any evil to them LIT. So, whoever loves others fulfills all that God's laws require.

¹¹Do what I have just told you, especially since you know the significance of the time in which we are living. You know that it is time for you to be fully alert and active MET, like people who have awakened from sleeping MET, because the time when Christ will finally deliver us from this world's pain/sin and sorrow is near. That time ◄is closer than/was not so close► when we first believed in Christ.
