. "75 But this commandment seems to be linked to love of neighbor, but not also to the love of God, the Lord also told us that there are two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. "Indeed if one had said anything you want done to yourself, do it yourself, the two commandments were found enclosed in a single formula, since it would have hastened to say that everyone wanting to be loved by God and men, and given the order to do what we want to see done to oneself, one is obliged to love God and neighbor. But as the Lord says expressly: "So whatever you would that men should do unto you, let them also," it seems that it simply means: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself. "However we must note that Christ (313) here adds:" For it is the law and the prophets, "while referring to the two commandments that he has not said simply attaching them to the law and the prophets, but "all the law and the prophets (1)," that is to say, all the prophecies. And as he does not use that term here, "all," he obviously reserves instead of the other command, command the love of God. For now it is what concerns those whose hearts are simple, and as it is feared that we had a double heart with respect to those whose heart may be hidden, c ' is to say against my men, that's why it was necessary to give this command. For there is almost nobody who wants to have a double heart. Or it can happen that a man gives something to a man with a simple heart, if not exclude any view of profit time and does not act with that intention disinterested long enough that we explained above when we talk about the simple eye. "
jeusmarie From the website:
It follows from the text of St. Augustine the first formulation that "the law and the prophets" and not "all the law and the prophets" that this formulation is made for simple hearts. Because otherwise, those who have to be loved and men need to be told the two commands to show the love that men must be totally disinterested.
The first formulation is complete and indeed sets the commentator Fillion, the second has stepped in to prevent any interpretation concerned. This is the thesis of St. Augustine.
But I also said elsewhere that the rights of God and men's rights were not contradictory, but formed a very well expressed in the first formula made for simple hearts, which according St. Augustine grows to avoid serving interpretation in the second formula decomposing precept in two parts.
