8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for (D)the one who loves [c]his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.

Romans 13:6-8
New International Version
6 This is also why you pay taxes,(A) for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes;(B) if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.(C)
