Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 15. You shall take care that your ruling principles of action are those appointed by the Lord, and in accordance with the Love and Wisdom which flow from the Lord's Humanity, and charity must be the ruling principle therein: you must not be governed by principles or doctrines which have not charity (or mutual love) as their ruling principle.
