Love defines law. Law does not define love.
The law was given to preserve love. Love is not to be sacrificed to preserve the law.
Love can overrule the law. The law cannot overrule love.
"Thou shalt not bear false witness," is a law that was given (as were all laws) to ensure love triumphs. It does not overrule "Love thy neighbor as thyself". If telling a lie is required to "Love thy neighbor as thyself" -- love trumps the law.
