7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God  * and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God  * and knows God.

8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

16 And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.

God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. 17 In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment,  * because as he is, so also are we in this world.  *18 There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear,  * because fear involves punishment.  * So the one who fears is not complete in love.  *

16 And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.

God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

19 We love  * because he first loved us.  *

19 We love  * because he first loved us.  *20 If anyone says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother or sister,  * he is a liar.  * For the person who does not love his brother or sister  * whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.  *

11 Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.  *

12 No one has ever seen God.  * If we love one another, God remains in  * us and his love is made complete in us.

21 And we have this command from him: The one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.

16 This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life  * for us.  * We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.  *17 If anyone has this world’s goods  * and sees a fellow believer  * in need  * but withholds compassion  * from him — how does God’s love reside in him?  *18 Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.  *

16 This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life  * for us.  * We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.  *17 If anyone has this world’s goods  * and sees a fellow believer  * in need  * but withholds compassion  * from him — how does God’s love reside in him?  *18 Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.  *

14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers and sisters. The one who does not love remains in death.  *

11 For this is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another,

1 See what great love  * the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children — and we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know him.

3 For this is what love for God is: to keep his commands. And his commands are not a burden,  *

8 But God proves  * his own love for us  * in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

16 For God loved*the world in this way:*He gave*his one and only*Son,*so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.*

16 For God loved*the world in this way:*He gave*his one and only*Son,*so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.*

13 No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life*for his friends.

13 No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life*for his friends.

9 "As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love.*10 If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.*

12 "This is my command: Love one another as I have loved*you.

15 "If you love me, you will keep*my commands.*

21 The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.*And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father.*I also will love him and will reveal myself to him."

22 Judas  * (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it you’re going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world? "  *

23 Jesus answered, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.*24 The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me.*

34 "I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another.35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love*one another."

37 He said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.*,*38 This is the greatest and most important*command.39 The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.*,*

37 He said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.*,*38 This is the greatest and most important*command.39 The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.*,*40 All the Law and the Prophets depend*on these two commands."*

40 "And the King will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’*

12 Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.*

44 But I tell you, love your enemies*and pray for those who*persecute you,*

30 Love*the Lord your God*with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind,*and with all your strength.*,*,*31 The second is, Love your neighbor*as yourself.*,*There is no other command*greater than these."

4 Love is patient,  * love is kind. Love does not envy,  * is not boastful, is not arrogant,  *5 is not rude, is not self-seeking,  * is not irritable,  * and does not keep a record of wrongs.

4 Love is patient,  * love is kind. Love does not envy,  * is not boastful, is not arrogant,  *5 is not rude, is not self-seeking,  * is not irritable,  * and does not keep a record of wrongs. 6 Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.  *7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures  * all things.

13 Now these three remain: faith, hope,  * and love — but the greatest of these is love.

13 Now these three remain: faith, hope,  * and love — but the greatest of these is love.

13 Now these three remain: faith, hope,  * and love — but the greatest of these is love.

2 If I have the gift of prophecy  * and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains  * but do not have love, I am nothing.

9 But as it is written,

What no eye has seen, no ear has heard,

and no human heart has conceived —

God has prepared these things for those who love him.*,*

14 Do everything in love.  *

14 Do everything in love.  *

38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,  * nor angels nor rulers,  * nor things present nor things to come,  * nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God  * that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  *

9 Let love be without hypocrisy.  * Detest evil;  * cling to what is good.

10 Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters.  * Take the lead in honoring one another.  *

8 Do not owe anyone anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.  *

14 Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.  *14 Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

16 I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches  * of his glory,  * to be strengthened with power  * in your inner being  * through his Spirit, 17 and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love,

2 with all humility  * and gentleness, with patience,  * bearing  * with one another in love,  *

25 Husbands, love your wives,  * just as Christ loved  * the church and gave himself  * for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing  * her with the washing of water by the word.

9 And I pray this: that your love  * will keep on growing  * in knowledge and every kind of discernment,  *10 so that you may approve the things that are superior  * and may be pure  * and blameless  * in the day of Christ,  *11 filled with the fruit  * of righteousness  * that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory  * and praise of God.

14 For the whole law is fulfilled  * in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.*,*

5 May the Lord direct your hearts to God’s love and Christ’s endurance.  *

8 Above all, maintain constant love  * for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.*,*

12 Hatred stirs up conflicts,

but love covers all offenses.  *

3 Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you.

Tie them around your neck;

write them on the tablet of your heart.  *

4 Then you will find favor and high regard

with God and people.  *

7 A huge torrent cannot extinguish love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.

If a man were to give all his wealth  * for love,  *

it would be utterly scorned.

Brothers

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.  *

His faithful love endures forever.

8 Let me experience

your faithful love in the morning,

for I trust in you.  *

Reveal to me the way I should go

because I appeal to you.  *

23 Love the Lord, all his faithful ones.  *

The Lord protects the loyal,

but fully repays the arrogant.  *

4 Because you are precious in my sight  *

and honored, and I love you,  *

I will give people in exchange for you

and nations instead of your life.

35 But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High.*For he is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.
