34 *A new commandment *I give to you, *that you love one another: *just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.35 *By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

12 *"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

13 *Greater love has no one than this, *that someone lay down his life for his friends.

11 For *this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, *that we should love one another.

14 We know that *we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death.

16 By this we know love, that *he laid down his life for us, and *we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But *if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet *closes his heart against him, *how does God’s love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not *love in word or talk but in deed and *in truth.

7 Beloved, *let us love one another, for love is from God, and *whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

10 In this is love, *not that we have loved God *but that he loved us and sent his Son to be *the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 *No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and *his love is perfected in us.

20 *If anyone says, "I love God," and *hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot* love God *whom he has not seen. 21 And *this commandment we have from him: *whoever loves God must also love his brother.

10 *Love one another with brotherly affection. *Outdo one another in showing honor.

8 *Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for *the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

8 Finally, all of you, *have unity of mind, sympathy, *brotherly love, *a tender heart, and *a humble mind.

8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since *love covers a multitude of sins.

9 Now concerning *brotherly love *you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been *taught by God *to love one another,

1 Let *brotherly love continue. 2 *Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby *some have entertained angels unawares. 3 *Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.

14 And above all these put on *love, which *binds everything together in *perfect harmony.

37 And he said to him, *"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.38 This is the great and first commandment.39 And *a second is like it: *You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, *"You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.
