Love is all in all
A second objection, closely related to this, is that love is all in all, that it is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:10), the end of the commandment (1 Timothy 1:5), of every commandment of God, that all we do and all we suffer, if we do not have love, profits us nothing, and that therefore the apostle directs us to follow after love, and calls this the more excellent way.

2. A second objection, nearly related to this, is, that love is all in all: that it is the fulfilling of the law, the end of the commandment, of every commandment of God: that all we do and all we suffer, if we have not charity, or love, profiteth us nothing: And therefore the apostle directs us, to follow after charity, and terms this, the more excellent way.
