- Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
- Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,
“I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you.” - God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
- That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.” - For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God. - For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.
- And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law.
- 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. - The tongue can bring death or life;
those who love to talk will reap the consequences. - No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
- Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
- Dear brothers and sisters, we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.
- The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.
- Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
- So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
- For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. - I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety. - Love prospers when a fault is forgiven,
but dwelling on it separates close friends. - You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
beautiful in every way. - And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone. - We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
- Let your favor shine on your servant.
In your unfailing love, rescue me. - I cried out, “I am slipping!”
but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.
