Gill's Notes on the Bible
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour,.... That is, the man that truly loves his neighbour, will contrive no ill against him, nor do any to him; he will not injure his person, nor defile his bed, nor deprive or defraud him of his substance; or do hurt to his character, bear false testimony against him, or covet with an evil covetousness anything that is his; but, on the contrary, will do him all the good he is capable of:
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law: so far as a man loves his neighbour, he acts agreeably to the law, and the particular precepts of it above mentioned: what the apostle says of love to the neighbour, the Jews frequently say of love to God;
"he that loveth God (they say d) 诪拽讬讬诐 注砖专 讗诪讬专谉, "hath fulfilled the decalogue", both above and below.''
And again e,
"there is no service like the love of God, R. Abba saith it is 讻诇诇讗 讚讗讜专讬讬转讗, "the sum of the law"; for the ten words of the law 讛讻讗 讗转讻诇讬诇讜, "are herein comprehended", or "fulfilled":''
and elsewhere f they observe,
"that 讻诇 讛转讜专讛 讻诇讜诇讛 讘讗讛讘讛, "the whole law is comprehended", or fulfilled "in love".''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Love worketh no ill ... - Love would seek to do him good; of course it would prevent all dishonesty and crime toward others. It would prompt to justice, truth, and benevolence. If this law were engraved on every man鈥檚 heart, and practiced in his life, what a change would it immediately produce in society! If all people would at once 鈥渁bandon鈥 what is suited to 鈥渨ork ill鈥 to others, what an influence would it have on the business and commercial affairs of people. How many plans of fraud and dishonesty would it at once arrest. How many schemes would it crush. It would silence the voice of the slanderer; it would stay the plans of the seducer and the adulterer; it would put an end to cheating, and fraud, and all schemes of dishonest gain. The gambler desires the property of his neighbor without any compensation; and thus works 鈥渋ll鈥 to him. The dealer in 鈥渓otteries鈥 desires property for which he has never toiled, and which must be obtained at the expense and loss of others. And there are many 鈥渆mployments鈥 all whose tendency is to work 鈥渋ll鈥 to a neighbor. This is pre-eminently true of the traffic in 鈥渁rdent spirits.鈥 It cannot do him good, and the almost uniform result is to deprive him of his property, health, reputation, peace, and domestic comfort. He that sells his neighbor liquid fire, knowing what must be the result of it, is not pursuing a business which works no ill to him; and love to that neighbor would prompt him to abandon the traffic; see Habakkuk 2:15, 鈥淲o unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that putteth thy bottle to him, and makest him drink also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness.鈥
Therefore ... - 鈥淏ecause鈥 love does no harm to another, it is 鈥渢herefore鈥 the fulfilling of the Law, implying that all that the Law requires is to 鈥渓ove鈥 others.
Is the fulfilling - Is the 鈥渃ompletion,鈥 or meets the requirements of the Law. The Law of God on this 鈥渉ead,鈥 or in regard to our duty to our neighbor, requires us to do justice toward him, to observe truth, etc. 鈥淎ll鈥 this will be met by 鈥渓ove;鈥 and if people truly 鈥渓oved鈥 others, all the demands of the Law would be satisfied.
Of the law - Of the Law of Moses, but particularly the Ten Commandments.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Romans 13:10. Love worketh no ill — As he that loves another will act towards that person as, on a reverse of circumstances, he would that his neighbour should act towards him; therefore, this love can never work ill towards another: and, on this head, i.e. the duty we owe to our neighbour, love is the fulfilling of the law.
