Hello, The scripture that you are referring to states: <i>Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.</i> (Romans 13:8) That is the King James Version. Looking at it in the New Living Translation may help to make the statement clearer: <i>Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.</i> God is saying, you should not allow yourself to be in debt to anyone or to owe anyone anything. The only obligation that you have is "to love one another." If the "to" was left out, it would change the meaning of the statement. It would make the statement a command for us to love one another. But, what it is saying instead is that the only thing that you should own people is to love them. I hope that clears up Romans 13:8 for you.
