Question #4
of An Orthodox Catechism
Question
What doth the Law of God require of us?
Answer
That which Christ doth summarily teach us, Matthew 22:37–40. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy Heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy Mind, and with all thy1 Strength. This is the first and the great Commandment; and the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy Neighbour as thy self. On these two Commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.
