he Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together: [35] And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:

Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? JESUS said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

Douay-Rheims 1899

¹ Of these two. Hereby it is evident that all dependeth not upon faith only, but much more upon charity, though faith be the first which is the love of God and of our neighbour, which is the sum of the Law and the Prophets, because he that hath this double charity expressed here by these two principal Com¬mandments, fulfilleth and accomplisheth all that is commanded in the Law and the Pro¬phets.

Douay-Rheims 1834
