Loving One Another

7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Loving One Another

7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.

8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.

18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.

19 We love each other* because he loved us first.

19 We love each other* because he loved us first.

20 If someone says, "I love God," but hates a fellow believer,* that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?

11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.

21 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.*

16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister* in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?

18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

18 Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

14 If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers,* it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead.

Love One Another

11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

1 See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.

3 Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.

8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

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

13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

9 "I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

12 This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 "If you love me, obey*my commandments.

21 Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them."

22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, "Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?"

23 Jesus replied, "All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.24 Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me.

34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."

37 Jesus replied, "‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’*38 This is the first and greatest commandment.39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’*

37 Jesus replied, "‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’*38 This is the first and greatest commandment.39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’*40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

40 "And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,*you were doing it to me!’

The Golden Rule

12 "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

44 But I say, love your enemies!*Pray for those who persecute you!

30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’*31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’*No other commandment is greater than these."

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.

9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard,

and no mind has imagined

what God has prepared

for those who love him."*

14 And do everything with love.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,* neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

Love Fulfills God’s Requirements

8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her 26 to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.*

9 I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. 10 For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. 11 May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ*—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.

14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."*

5 May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.

8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

12 Hatred stirs up quarrels,

but love makes up for all offenses.

3 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!

Tie them around your neck as a reminder.

Write them deep within your heart.

4 Then you will find favor with both God and people,

and you will earn a good reputation.

7 Many waters cannot quench love,

nor can rivers drown it.

If a man tried to buy love

with all his wealth,

his offer would be utterly scorned.

The Young Woman’s Brothers

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

8 Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,

for I am trusting you.

Show me where to walk,

for I give myself to you.

23 Love the Lord, all you godly ones!

For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him,

but he harshly punishes the arrogant.

4 Others were given in exchange for you.

I traded their lives for yours

because you are precious to me.

You are honored, and I love you.

35 "Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.
