16 God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.

34 *But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you. 35 If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.

6 Love rejoices in the truth,

but not in evil.

7 Love is always supportive,

loyal, hopeful,

and trusting.

8 Love never fails!

Everyone who prophesies

will stop,

and unknown languages

will no longer

be spoken.

All that we know

will be forgotten.

8 God is love, and anyone who doesn’t love others has never known him.

18 A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows we have not really learned to love.

3 *We show our love for God by obeying his commandments, and they are not hard to follow.

22 God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful,
