Love my neighbor as myself

Love the Lord my God

with all my heart,

with all my soul,

and with all my mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it,

Love my neighbor as myself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

I’m prone to misreading this passage, as if it said that the first commandment was love God with all my heart, the second to love God with all my soul, and the third to love God with all my mind. It’s not that way, really. In fact, Paul turns it around: “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”
