- Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
- Their ways are futile and foolish.
They cut down a tree, and a craftsman carves an idol.
They decorate it with gold and silver
and then fasten it securely with hammer and nails
so it won’t fall over.
Their gods are like
helpless scarecrows in a cucumber field!
They cannot speak,
and they need to be carried because they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of such gods,
for they can neither harm you nor do you any good. - 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.
- In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.
- Those who love your instructions have great peace
and do not stumble. - There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
- Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
- And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.
- Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.
- But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
- I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.
- Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
- Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
- Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.”
- This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
- Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.
- Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
- For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
- Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
- For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- 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.
- The tongue can bring death or life;
those who love to talk will reap the consequences. - May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.
- 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.
