“The Christian ethic is none other than the one briefly and pointedly comprised 
in the ten commandments and which, for the rest, is illuminated and interpreted 
throughout the whole of Scriptures.

In those commandments the love of God stands in the foreground, but the love of 
the neighbor is the second law, like unto the first.”
