Psalm 94:20 (Revised Standard Version)
Can wicked rulers be allied with thee,
who frame mischief by statute?
Isaiah 10:1-2 (NIV)
Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
Isaiah 59:4 (NIV)
No one calls for justice;
no one pleads his case with integrity.
They rely on empty arguments and speak lies;
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV)
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Romans 13:9-10 (NIV)
The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder,"
"Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment
there may be, are summed up in this one rule:
"Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor.
Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
