- Owe nothing to anyone except the debt of love you owe one another. The one who loves others has fulfilled the Law.
- See what love
the Father has bestowed on us,
enabling us to be called the children of God,
and that is what we are.
If the world does not recognize us,
that is because it did not know him. - May the Lord cause your love to increase and overflow for one another and for everyone else, just as our love does for you.
- Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. - Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life and honor too. - Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. - For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- The love of the Lord is never exhausted,
nor do his deeds of mercy ever come to an end.
They are renewed every morning;
his faithfulness never ceases. - You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
- The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.
- May mercy, peace, and love be granted you in abundance.
- No one should seek his own advantage in preference to that of his neighbor.
- Love does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things. - I love the Lord because he has heard my voice
and listened to my cry for mercy,
because he has inclined his ear to me
on the day when I called out to him. - Rather, professing truth and love, we will in all things grow into him who is the head, Christ.
- If in speaking I use human tongues
and angelic as well,
but do not have love,
I am nothing more than a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. - In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
- For:
“If anyone wishes to love life
and to experience good days,
he must restrain his tongue from evil
and his lips from deceitful speech.
He must turn away from evil and do good,
seek peace and pursue it.” - For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom.
- Let no one regard you with contempt because of your youth, but serve as an example to the believers in your speech and conduct, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
- Love cannot result in any harm to the neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the Law.
- But I say to you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- For his anger lasts for only a moment,
while his goodwill endures for a lifetime.
Weeping may last throughout the night,
but at daybreak there is rejoicing. - Who then can separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?
- This is what love is:
not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
