- 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.
- Only goodness and kindness will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever and ever. - Thus there are three things that endure: faith, hope, and love,
and the greatest of these is love. - Your kindness is a greater joy than life itself;
thus my lips will speak your praise.
I will bless you all my life;
with uplifted hands I will call on your name. - No one has ever seen God,
but if we love one another,
God abides in us,
and his love is made complete in us. - Be mindful, O Lord, that mercy and kindness
have been yours from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth
or my many transgressions,
but remember me in your kindness,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord. - 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. - Keep in mind, therefore, that the Lord, your God, is God. He is a faithful God who keeps his covenant of mercy to the thousandth generation toward those who love him and observe his commandments.
- 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. - But I will sing of your strength;
when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness.
For you have been my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. - This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.
And we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth. - 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. - Rend your hearts and not your garments,
and turn back to the Lord, your God.
For he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, rich in kindness,
and always prepared to relent from punishing. - 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.

Bible verse of the day
See what lovethe 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.
