Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. (1st Table-God & you / #'s 1-4)
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (2nd Table You & your Neighbor / #'s 5-10)
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22:37-40
