- 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. - We know that God makes all things work together for good for those who love him and who are called according to his purpose.
- 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. - Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. - This is the commandment
we have received from him:
whoever loves God
must also love his brother. - Beloved,
let us love one another,
because love is from God.
Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. - No one has ever seen God,
but if we love one another,
God abides in us,
and his love is made complete in us. - Love cannot result in any harm to the neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the Law.
- Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - 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. - I give you a new commandment:
love one another.
Just as I have loved you,
so you should also love one another. - 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. - For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom.
- May the Lord guide your hearts to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ.
- This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. - The second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
- This is what love is:
not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
Let your love be sincere. Loathe what is evil and hold fast to what is good.See what love
the Father has bestowed on us,
enabling us to be called the children of God,
and that is what we are.
If the world does not recognize us,
that is because it did not know him. Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts in accordance with them will be like a wise man who constructed his house on a rock foundation.Next verse!With image
