- 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. - May the Lord cause your love to increase and overflow for one another and for everyone else, just as our love does for you.
- Over all these put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
- The second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
- You are all-beautiful, my love,
without the slightest blemish. - No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends. - Dear children,
let us love not in word or speech
but in deed and truth. - Love does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices in the truth.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things. - But I say to you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- Let your love be sincere. Loathe what is evil and hold fast to what is good.
- Those who love your law have great peace;
they encounter no stumbling blocks. - This is how everyone will know
that you are my disciples:
if you love one another. - Love one another with genuine affection. Esteem others more highly than yourself.
- For from the beginning
you have heard the message
that we should love one another. - And ‘to love him with all your heart, and with all your understanding, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself,’ is worth more than any burnt offerings and sacrifices.
- With all humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another in a spirit of love.
- May the Lord guide your hearts to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ.
- Rather, professing truth and love, we will in all things grow into him who is the head, Christ.
- I reprove and discipline all those whom I love. Therefore, be sincere in your desire to repent.
- For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom.
- For the entire Law can be summed up in a single commandment: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
- The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.

A fool spurns his father’s correction,
but whoever heeds admonition is prudent.
