Exegesis
The exceptive idiom ei me {εἰ μὴ | ei mē} ‘except’ introduces the articular infinitive tò al-lḗ-lous a-ga-pân {τὸ ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν | tò al-lḗ-lous a-ga-pân} ‘to love one another’ as the sole permissible obligation.
In context — Romans 13:8
Do not remain indebted to anyone for anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law .
