Exegesis
The comparative conjunction hos {ὡς | hōs} introduces the standard of comparison, making seauton {σεαυτόν | seautón} “yourself” the measure by which love of neighbor is to be evaluated. In English, the implied copula (“a second is like it”) is made explicit, and the imperatival future is rendered with “shall” or direct imperative “Love” to preserve the verse’s authoritative, command-like character.
In context — Matthew 22:39
And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
