Paul tells believers how to act toward neighbors.
# Owe no one anything, except to love one another
This is a double negative. You can translate it in a positive form. Alternate translation: "Pay all you owe to everyone, and love one another" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives]])
# Owe
This verb is plural and applies to all the Roman Christians. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
# except to love one another
This is the one debt that can remain as shown in the note above.
# love
This refers to the kind of love that comes from God and focuses on the good of others, even when it does not benefit oneself.
