- Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. - Love cannot result in any harm to the neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the Law.
- We have come to know
and to believe in
the love that God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever abides in love
abides in God,
and God in him. - Do not love the world
or what is in the world.
If anyone does love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. - If you love me,
you will keep my commandments. - Therefore, we love because he first loved us.
- In love there is no fear;
indeed, perfect love casts out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears
has not yet achieved perfection in love. - May mercy, peace, and love be granted you in abundance.
- Thus there are three things that endure: faith, hope, and love,
and the greatest of these is love. - No one has ever seen God,
but if we love one another,
God abides in us,
and his love is made complete in us. - I give you a new commandment:
love one another.
Just as I have loved you,
so you should also love one another. - Beloved,
let us love one another,
because love is from God.
Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. - If someone says, “I love God,”
but at the same time hates his brother,
he is a liar.
For whoever does not love the brother
whom he has seen
cannot love God whom he has not seen. - Above all, maintain the fervor of your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
- Everything that you do should be done in love.
- If you keep my commandments,
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love. - Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. - This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - The second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
- Let your love be sincere. Loathe what is evil and hold fast to what is good.
- Love is patient;
love is charitable.
Love is not envious;
it does not have an inflated opinion of itself;
it is not filled with its own importance.
Love is never rude;
it does not seek its own advantage.
It is not prone to anger;
neither does it brood over setbacks. - No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends. - This is the commandment
we have received from him:
whoever loves God
must also love his brother. - Those who love your law have great peace;
they encounter no stumbling blocks.
Dear children,
let us love not in word or speech
but in deed and truth.Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts:
he is the King of glory. Selah
