Amor incondicional
O amor incondicional de Deus não depende de mérito humano. Ele nos amou quando ainda éramos pecadores. Esse amor não tem limites, não cobra preço e não pode ser perdido.
Amor sem condições
Deus prova o seu amor em que Cristo morreu por nós sendo nós ainda pecadores. O amor de Deus é gratuito e irrevogável.
But God commendeth his charity in us; for if when we were yet sinners, after the time Christ was dead for us,
For scarcely dieth any man for the just man; and yet for a good man peradventure some man dare die.
But God commendeth his charity in us; for if when we were yet sinners, after the time Christ was dead for us,
For all men sinned, and have need to the glory of God;
and be justified freely by his grace, by the again-buying [or the redemption] that is in Christ.
Who then shall part us from the charity of Christ? tribulation, or anguish, or hunger, or nakedness, or persecution, or peril, or sword?
For God loved so the world [or Forsooth God so loved the world], that he gave his one begotten Son, that each man that believeth in him perish not, but have everlasting life.
in which also we all lived sometime in the desires of our flesh, doing the wills of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by kind the sons of wrath, as other men;
but God, that is rich in mercy, for his full much charity in which he loved us,
yea, when we were dead in sins, quickened us together in Christ, by whose grace ye be saved,
But when the benignity and the manhood [or the humanity] of our Saviour God appeared,
not of works of rightwiseness that we did, but by his mercy he made us safe, by [the] washing, [or baptism], of again-begetting, and again-newing of the Holy Ghost,
whom he shedded [out] into us plenteously by Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Amor eterno
Com amor eterno te amei. O amor de Deus é mais largo, mais alto e mais profundo do que podemos compreender.
Far the Lord appeared to me, and in everlasting charity I loved thee; therefore I doing mercy drew thee.
Acknowledge ye to the God of heaven. Acknowledge ye to the Lord of lords; for his mercy is without end.
Lord, thy mercy is in heaven; and thy truth is unto [the] clouds.
He that is a friend, loveth in all time; and a brother is proved in anguishes.
In this thing, the charity of God appeared in us, for God sent his one begotten Son into the world, that we live by him.
In this thing is charity, not as we had loved God, but for he first loved us, and sent his Son forgiveness [or helping] for our sins.
Therefore love we God, for he loved us before [or he former loved us].
In this thing we have known the charity of God, for he put his life for us, and we owe to put our lives for our brethren.
Amar como Deus ama
O amor é paciente e bondoso. Amai os vossos inimigos. O amor incondicional se expressa no perdão e na compaixão.
Charity is patient, it is benign; charity envieth not, it doeth not wickedly, it is not blown [with pride],
it is not covetous, [or ambitious, or covetous of worships], it seeketh not those things that be his own [or her own], it is not stirred to wrath, it thinketh not evil,
it joyeth not on [or in] wicked-ness, but it joyeth together to [or with] truth;
it suffereth all things, it believeth all things, it hopeth all things, it sustaineth all things.
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say to you, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hate you, and pray ye for them that pursue, and slander you;
that ye be the sons of your Father that is in heavens, that maketh his sun to rise upon good and evil men, and raineth on just men and unjust.
For if ye love them that love you, what meed shall ye have? whether [the] publicans do not this thing?
And if ye greet your brethren only, what shall ye do more[over]? do not heathen men [or pagans] this?
Therefore be ye perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
But I say to you that hear, love ye your enemies, do ye well to them that hated you [or that hate you];
bless ye men that curse you, pray ye for men that defame you [or that falsely challenge you].
before all things have ye charity each to other in yourselves always lasting; for charity covereth the multitude of sins.
