Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 13:9

_ _ For this, etc. — better thus: “For the [commandments], Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and whatever other commandment [there may be], it is summed up,” etc. (The clause, “Thou shalt not bear false witness,” is wanting in all the most ancient manuscripts). The apostle refers here only to the second table of the law, as love to our neighbor is what he is treating of.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 13:7-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 13:9

If there be any other — More particular. Commandment — Toward our neighbour; as there are many in the law. It is summed up in this — So that if you was not thinking of it, yet if your heart was full of love, you would fulfil it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 13:9

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is (h) briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

(h) For the whole law commands nothing else but that we love God and our neighbour. But seeing that Paul speaks here of the duties we owe one to another, we must restrain this word "law" to the second table of the ten commandments.
