Love never wrongs a neighbour; that is why love is the fulfilment of the law.

If you really fulfil the royal law laid down by scripture, You must love your neighbour as yourself, well and good; but if you pay servile regard to people, you commit a sin, and the Law convicts you of transgression.

If you are under the sway of the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
