Rom 3:20 0.379 0.64 0.20 law, therefore

Key observation: Gal 5:14 is the strongest parallel (0.497) -- Paul's other statement that "all the law is fulfilled in one word...love thy neighbour as thyself." Jas 2:8 confirms James's independent agreement on the "royal law" of neighbor-love. The love-law-neighbor triad is consistent across Paul, Jesus (Mat 22:39; Mrk 12:31,33), and James.


EXO 20:3 -- "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

Note: Both --hybrid-ot and --hybrid-nt searches returned "Verse not found: EXO 20:3". This appears to be a tool limitation with the verse reference format for Exodus in the cross-testament parallels index.
