(Bible, King James Version, New Testament) Matthew: Chapter 22: verses 35-40:(35) Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, (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. (39) And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (40) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Those 2 commandments together basically summarize all of the 10 Commandments (and "all the law and the prophets"), if followed properly.
