Exegesis
In the second clause, the substantival participle ho a-ga-pôn {ὁ ἀγαπῶν | ho a-ga-pôn} ‘the one who loves’ functions as the subject of the perfect verb pe-plḗ-rō-ken {πεπλήρωκεν | pe-plḗ-rō-ken} ‘has fulfilled’, taking tòn hé-te-ron nó-mon {τὸν ἕτερον νόμον | tòn hé-te-ron nó-mon} ‘the other law’ as its object. The perfect aspect underscores a completed action with continuing effect, portraying love as the true consummation of the law.
