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 people say, "Love your neighbors and hate your enemies." But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you.
Now I tell you to love each other, as I have loved you.
Let love be your only debt! If you love others, you have done all that the Law demands.
We should think of their good and try to help them by doing what pleases them.
Show love in everything you do.
May the Lord make your love for each other and for everyone else grow by leaps and bounds. This is how our love for you has grown.
Keep being concerned about each other as the Lord’s followers should.
Be sure to welcome strangers into your home. By doing this, some people have welcomed angels as guests, without even knowing it.
Remember the Lord’s people who are in jail and be concerned for them. Don’t forget those who are suffering, but imagine you are there with them.
You will do all right, if you obey the most important law in the Scriptures. It is the law that commands us to love others as much as we love ourselves.
Most important of all, you must sincerely love each other, because love wipes away many sins.
God loves you and has chosen you as his own special people. So be gentle, kind, humble, meek, and patient. Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you. Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together.
Each one of you is part of the body of Christ, and you were chosen to live together in peace. So let the peace that comes from Christ control your thoughts. And be grateful.
From the beginning you were told we must love each other.
If you hate each other, you are murderers, and we know murderers do not have eternal life. We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. This is why we must give our lives for each other.
We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. This is why we must give our lives for each other.
My dear friends, we must love each other. Love comes from God, and when we love each other, it shows we have been given new life. We are now God’s children, and we know him. God is love, and anyone who doesn’t love others has never known him.
