God’s Love Revealed

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by 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 have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who resides in love resides in God, and God resides in him. 17 By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as that one is, so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear includes punishment, and the one who is afraid has not been perfected in love.

16 And we have come to know and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who resides in love resides in God, and God resides 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 hates his brother, he is a liar, for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen is not able to love God whom he has not seen.

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

12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God resides in us and his love is perfected in us.

21 And this is the commandment we have from him: that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

16 We have come to know love by this: that he* laid down his life on behalf of us, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers. 17 But whoever has the world’s material possessions and observes his brother in need* and shuts his heart against him, how does the love of God reside in him?

18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

14 We know that we have passed over from death to life because we love the brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.

God is Love, so Love One Another

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

1 See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called children of God, and we are! Because of this the world does not know us: because it did not know him.

3 For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,

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

God’s Love for the World

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

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

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

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

12 This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, why* is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?" 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and will take up residence with him.*24 The one who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

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

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 greatest and first commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’*

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 greatest and first commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’*40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."

40 And the king will answer and* say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did it* to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it* to me.’

12 Therefore in all things, whatever you want that people should do to you, thus also you do to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

30 And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.’*31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’* There is no other commandment greater than these."

4 Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not boast, it does not become conceited, 5 it does not behave dishonorably, it is not selfish*, it does not become angry, it does not keep a record of wrongs,

4 Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not boast, it does not become conceited, 5 it does not behave dishonorably, it is not selfish*, it does not become angry, it does not keep a record of wrongs, 6 it does not rejoice at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth, 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

13 And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

13 And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

13 And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

9 But just as it is written,

"Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,

and have not entered into the heart of man,

all that* God has prepared for those who love him."*

14 All your actions must be done in love.

14 All your actions must be done in love.

38 For I am convinced 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.

Love Fulfills the Law

8 Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for the one who loves someone else has fulfilled the law.

14 And to all these things add love, which is the bond of perfection.

13 putting up with one another and forgiving one another. If anyone should have a complaint against anyone, just as also the Lord forgave you, thus also you do the same. 14 And to all these things add love, which is the bond of perfection.

16 that he may grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (you having been firmly rooted and established in love),

2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, putting up with one another in love,

Husbands and Wives

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her; 26 in order that he might sanctify her by cleansing her* with the washing of water by the word;

Prayer for Spiritual Maturity

9 And this I pray: that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is superior, in order that you may be sincere and blameless in* the day of Christ, 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."*

5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.

8 Above all, keep* your love for one another constant, because love covers a large number of sins.

8 Above all, keep* your love for one another constant, because love covers a large number of sins.

8 Above all, keep* your love for one another constant, because love covers a large number of sins.

12 Hatred stirs up strife,

but love covers over all offenses.

3 May loyal love* and truth not forsake you;

bind them around your neck,

write them upon your heart.

4 And you shall find favor and good sense*

in the eyes of God and humankind.

7 Many waters cannot quench love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.*

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

he would be utterly scorned.*

Praise to God for His Creation and Deliverance

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,

for his loyal love endures forever.

8 Cause me to hear your loyal love in the morning,

for I trust you.

Cause me to know the way that I should go,

for I lift up my soul to you.

23 Love Yahweh, all you his faithful ones.

Yahweh preserves the faithful

but repays abundantly the one who acts arrogantly.

4 Because you are precious in my eyes,

you are honored, and I myself love you,

and I give people in place of you,

and nations in place of your life.

35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend expecting back nothing, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
