1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Divine love suffers long; divine love is kind; divine love envies not; does not make a display of itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself uncomely, seeks not its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but it rejoices in the truth; read more.
it bears all things, it believes all things, it hopes all things, it endures all things. Divine love never falls: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Thou gavest me no kiss: she, from the time I came in, did not cease copiously kissing my feet. Thou didst not anoint my head with oil: but she anointed my feet with myrrh.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy may be full. I have spoken these things unto you in parables; the hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but openly will I proclaim to you concerning the Father. In that clay you shall ask in my name: and I do not say, that I will ask the Father for you; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me as a friend, and you have believed that I came out from God.

John 17:1-26

Jesus spoke these words; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, said, Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, in order that the Son may glorify thee: as thou didst give Him authority over all flesh, in order that whatsoever thou hast given unto Him, He may give unto them eternal life. But this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send. read more.
I glorified thee upon the earth, having finished the work that thou hast given to me that I may do it. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name, to the men whom thou didst give me out of the world. They were thine, and thou didst give them to me; and they have kept thy word: now they know that all things so many as thou hast given to me are with thee: because the words which thou didst give me I have given unto them; and they received them, and they know truly that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. I pray for these: I pray not for the world; but for those whom thou hast given me, because they are thine: and all mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I have been glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through my name whom thou hast given unto me, in order that they may be one, as we are. When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me. And I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture may be fulfilled. And now I come to thee; and speak these things in the world, that they may have my joy complete in themselves. I have given unto them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I do not pray that you may take them out of the world, but that you may keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through the truth: thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world: and I sanctify myself in their behalf, in order that they may also be sanctified through the truth. And I not only pray for these, but also for those believing on me through their word; that they may all be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And I have given unto them the glory which thou hast given unto me; in order that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love me. Father, that which thou hast given unto me, I wish that they may also be with me, where I am, in order that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given unto me: because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, indeed the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and they know that thou didst send me; I made known thy name to them, and will make it known; in order that the love with which thou didst love me may be in them, and I in them.

John 14:23-31

Jesus responded and said to him; If any one may love me with divine love, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our mansion with him. The one not loving me with divine love does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me. I have spoken these things to you, abiding with you: read more.
but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things, which I spoke to you. My peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor afraid. You heard that I said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you love me with divine love, you would rejoice, because I go to my Father: because the Father is greater than I. And I have now told you before it takes place, in order that, when it may come to pass, you may believe. I shall no longer speak many things with you, because the prince of the world comes: and he has nothing in me; but in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and as He commanded, so I am doing. Arise, let us go hence.

John 5:20

For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth Him all things which He doeth; and will show Him greater things than these, in order that you may be astonished.

John 10:7-17

Then Jesus said, Truly, truly, I say unto you, that I am the door of the sheep. All so many as came were thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: if any one may enter in through me, he shall be saved; he shall go in and come out, and find pasture. read more.
The thief does not come, but that he may steal, and slay, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The hireling, and the one not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees away, and the wolf seizes and scatters them: because he is a hireling and there is not a care to him for the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd; I know mine, and mine know me, as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down My soul for the sheep. And I have other sheep which are not of this fold: and it behooves me to bring them and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore my Father loves Me, because I lay down my soul, that I may take it again.

Matthew 5:43-48

You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you: in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous. read more.
For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same. If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing? Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

Luke 6:27-35

But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies with divine love, and do good to those that hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you. To the one smiting thee on the cheek turn the other also; and from the one taking away thy cloak do not withhold even the coat. read more.
Give to every one asking thee, and turn not away from the one taking thy possessions, And as you wish that the people may do unto you, do ye unto them even likewise. If you love those who love you, what grace is there to you? for even sinners love those who love them. And if you may do good to those doing good to you, what grace is there to you? for sinners also do the same. And if you may lend to those from whom you may hope to receive, what grace is there to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive back the equivalent. Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked.

How the chief priests and our rulers indeed delivered Him up to the condemnation of death, and they crucified Him. But we were hoping that He is the one about to redeem Israel: but truly in addition to all these things, this is the third day from which these things took place. But certain women from us truly surprised us, being early at the sepulcher; and not seeing His body, came, saying, they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that He is alive. And certain ones of those with us went away to the sepulcher, and found as the women also said: and they saw Him not. And He said to them, O ye foolish, and slow in heart to believe in all those things which the prophet spoke! Did it not behoove Christ to suffer, and to enter into His glory? And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself. And they drew nigh to the village, whither they were going: and He made as though He would go further: and they constrained Him, saying, Abide with us: because it is at the evening, and the day has already declined. And He came in to abide with them. And it came to pass, while He was reclining with them at the table, taking bread, He blessed it, and breaking it, He gave it to them: and their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him; and He vanished from them. And they said to one another, Did not our heart bum within us, while He was talking to us on the way, as He was expounding the Scriptures to us? And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those with them gathered together, saying, The Lord indeed is risen, and was seen by Simon. And they expounded those things on the way, and bow He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. And they speaking these things, He stood in their midst, and they being affrighted and filled with fear, thought they saw a spirit. And He said to them, Why are you excited, and why do reasonings arise in your heart? See my hands and my feet, that I am He: feel me; and see, because a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me having.

Love » The source of love

1 John 4:7-21

Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God. The one not loving with divine love does not know God; because God is divine love. In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him. read more.
In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us. In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit. And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent forth his Son the Saviour of the world. Whosoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, in him God abides, and he in God. And we have known and we have believed the divine love which God has in us. God is divine love; and the one abiding in divine love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love. Let us love with divine love, because he himself first loved us with divine love. If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love. And we have this precept from him, that the one loving God with divine love also loves his brother with divine love.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not producing fruit, He takes it away: and every one producing fruit, He purifies it, that it may produce more fruit. So ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. read more.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to produce fruit of itself, unless it may abide in the vine; so you are not able, unless you may abide in me. I am the vine, and ye are the branches. The one abiding in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: because you are not able to do anything without me. If any one may not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and they gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burnt. If you may abide in me, and my words may abide in you, ask whatsoever you may wish, and it shall be done unto you. In this my Father is glorified, that you may bear much fruit; and ye shall be my disciples. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: abide in my love. If you may keep my commandments, abide in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and I abide in His love.
