Basil of Caesarea

EXEGETIC HOMILIES, HOMILY 17 (379)

It is not the privilege of any chance person to go forward to the perfection of love and to learn to know him who is truly beloved, but of him who has already "put off the old man, which is being corrupted through its deceptive lusts, and has put on the new man," which is being renewed that it may be recognized as an image of the creator.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Those that sincerely desire to be instructed concerning their duty, Christ will guide in judgment, and teach his way. That the great commandment of all, which is indeed inclusive of all, is, that of loving God with all our hearts. (1.) Where there is a commanding principle in the soul, there is a disposition to every other duty.

The New Park Street Pulpit, Sermon No. 162: “The First and Great Commandment” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1857)

OUR SAVIOUR said, “This is the first and great commandment.” It is “the first” commandment—the first for antiquity, for this is older than even the ten commandments of the written law. Before God said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal,” this law was one of the commands of his universe; for this was binding upon the angels when man was not created.
