Augustine of Hippo, on Rom 13:10

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Rom 13:10 · Douay-Rheims
“The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love therefore is the fulfilling of the law.”
On this verse:
“The rule of love is that one should wish his friend to have all the good things he wants to have himself and should not wish the evils to befall his friend which he wishes to avoid himself. He shows this benevolence to all men. No evil must be done to any. Love of one's neighbor works no evil. Let us then love even our enemies as we are commanded, if we wish to be truly unconquered.”
