Amor ao próximo
O amor ao próximo não é opcional — é mandamento. Amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. A lei inteira se cumpre nesta palavra. O amor ao próximo é prova do amor a Deus.
You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
Do everything in love.
And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,
Continue in brotherly love. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.
If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.
Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.
By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
