"One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate.\nHe realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, \u201cOf all the commandments, which is the most important?\u201d\n\nJesus replied, \u201cThe most important commandment is this: \u2018Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.\nAnd you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.\u2019\nThe second is equally important: \u2018Love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 No other commandment is greater than these.\u201d Matthew 22:28-31 (NLT)
