- 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. - Others were given in exchange for you.
I traded their lives for yours
because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you. - But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
- So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
- I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
I will sing your praises among the nations. - I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. - The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
- I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.
- But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.
- If you love me, obey my commandments.
- If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?
- When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
- 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.
- Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
- I love the Lord because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath! - Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.
- And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.
- But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
- This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.
- May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love.
- I cried out, “I am slipping!”
but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. - Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone. - You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself.
- Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
- For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love.
I said to the Lord, “You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you.”When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.”Next verse!With image
