Matthew 5. 43   (http://noshadow.cnc.net/matthew/22.shtml):
5:43 audistis quia dictum est diliges proximum tuum et odio habebis
inimicum tuum
5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.


Or the Epistle of St. James 2 7  (http://www.greeknewtestament.com/B59C002.htm):
Latin Vulgate
2:8 si tamen legem perficitis regalem secundum scripturas diliges
proximum tuum sicut te ipsum bene facitis

King James Version
2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:


Apparently:  "diliges proximum tuum"

I would stick with the well-known Latin Bible (Vulgate) expression,
although it is certainly possible to translate the phrase differently.
