The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these. Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.Īnd a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. and you shall love your neighbour as yourself I am the LORD It's worth noting that the command to "love neighbour as self" extends beyond these two parallel passages from the gospels, and originates in a much earlier time and in a different language. Lastly I have found articles addressing the issue of self-love in general this question is very explicitly about this commandment and it's interpretation. If that's not the case than I believe that the context of the commandment does favour a certain interpretation, but I am entirely open to any argumentation, so not going to outline my thoughts on this matter. My hope is that there could be a language perspective on the word ὡς that could shed light on this, but as far as I know that word can be used in both senses. Now, regardless of how odd this argument might have sounded to me this raised the underlying question whether it means one should love ones neighbour ' at least as much' as yourself, or ' exactly as much' as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Someone just came to me arguing that the second of the biggest commandments is also a commandment to love oneself.Īnd the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.Īnd the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
