For this - “This” which follows is the sum of the laws. “This” is to regulate us in our conduct toward our neighbor. The word “this” here stands opposed to “that” in Rom 13:11. This law of love would prompt us to seek our neighbor’s good; “that” fact, that our salvation is near, would prompt us to be active and faithful in the discharge of all the duties we owe to him.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He that tempts others to sin, and defiles their minds and consciences, though he may pretend the most passionate love ( Prov. vii. 15, 18 ), does really hate them, just as the devil does, who wars against the soul.

1802–1910

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

(The clause, "Thou shalt not bear false witness," is wanting in all the most ancient manuscripts). The apostle refers here only to the second table of the law, as love to our neighbor is what he is treating of.
