- The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. - But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. - Do not nurse hatred in your heart for any of your relatives. Confront people directly so you will not be held guilty for their sin. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
- Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
how I praise you!
I will praise you as long as I live,
lifting up my hands to you in prayer. - In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
- If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
- But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
- Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
- I cried out, “I am slipping!”
but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. - This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
- Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
- Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
- “For the mountains may move
and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”
says the Lord, who has mercy on you. - Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
- The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
- For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. - Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
- So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
- If you love me, obey my commandments.
- No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
- O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. - And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
- God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.
- Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.
- For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
