The Law and the Prophets
by David Plexco 
Matt 22:36-40 (KJV)
36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.
The first half of the law or commandments, cover our relationship to God.
39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The second half of the law or commandments, cover our relationship with mankind.
40 On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets
