要常以爲虧欠
羅馬書十三章8至10節
8凡事都不可虧欠人，惟有彼此相愛，要常以為虧欠，因為愛人的就完全了律法。
9像那“不可姦淫”，“不可殺人”，“不可偷盜”，“不可貪婪”，或有別的誡命，都包在“愛人如己”這一句話之內了。
10愛是不加害與人的，所以愛就完全了律法。
信息分享
其次，保羅在第8節下半句教導我們，在愛人的事上，我們卻要常常覺得自己是虧欠人的。
保羅已經在前面的部份談論過愛，他也指出，我們必須要放下一切爭競、嫉妒和驕傲的心態，憑著愛心運用恩賜服侍人。
如今，保羅更將這種愛伸展至所有人。這裡所講的「愛人」，除了是愛信徒之外，當然還擴展至未得救的鄰舍、朋友、同事和其他所有人。
保羅突然明白到，愛如何能成全律法，特別是十誡的律法。我們若真正愛神，還會敬奉其他偶像嗎？還會隨便用神的名起誓嗎？你會怎樣對待所愛的人呢？
我們會偷取愛人的東西嗎？假如丈夫虐待妻子，你認為他愛妻子嗎？他能夠藉此向妻子證明他的愛嗎？
今天，我們並不是靠守律法來賺取救恩。但由於我們已經得救，神的愛已在我們心中；因此，當我們自覺虧欠神和人的愛，我們就發現自己正成全了律法！因爲我們所行的，甚至願意超越了法律的要求。這正好證明我們是屬乎神的，因為神就是愛。作為神的兒女，我們豈不該更像天父嗎？
NEVER BE OUT OF DEBT
Romans 13: 8-10
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,”[a] “You shall not covet,”[b] and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”[c]
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Message
The second part of verse 8 is equally plain. The only continuous and allowable debt with unlimited installments is the debt of love.
Paul had written about love and he had said that the exercise of our gifts must be in the spirit of love. Rivalry, jealousy, and pride are never the attitudes in which we are to use our God-given gifts.
Here Paul extended the thought of love to cover our relationships with our fellow men. This undoubtedly covers fellow Christians but it must be wide enough to include our unsaved neighbours, friends, fellow-workers, and many others.
Suddenly Paul saw how love could fulfill the law, specifically the Ten Commandments. If we truly love God, will we look for another god to worship? Or would we ever use God's name as a swearword? Would you do that to our own loved ones?
Would we steal from someone we love? What do you think of a husband who ill-treats his wife? Is that the way he proves his love?
We are not keeping the law today to earn our salvation. Since we have been saved, His love is in our hearts. As we acknowledge our debt of love and act on it, we’ll find ourselves fulfilling the law! We may have to go beyond what may be called human legal requirements. We belong to God and God is love. As his children, shouldn't we be like our Father?
