According to John J. Collins of Yale Divinity School, neither Jewish sources or the New Testament ever claim that the commandment to love one's neighbors is applicable to all mankind, though some expansion can also be seen beyond its original context in the Hebrew Bible. The law only applies to an in-group, whether it be Israelites, Jews, or early Christians.
