Reference Passages
Matthew
15:4-6
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” 6 he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.
Romans
13:8
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
