- How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
- Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.
- Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
- And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
- For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help.
- We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.
- Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent;
do not go to the house of your kindred in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is nearby
than kindred who are far away. - Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
- If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
- Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
- For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.
- No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
- Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of injustice,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke? - Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.”
- Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed. - You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
- Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. - In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.”
- Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
- Honor widows who are really widows.
- So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
- There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor?
- Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from one person's envy of another. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
- It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave.
- You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
