I write

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

So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are proclaiming?

But now I ask you, lady (not as if I were writing a new commandment to you, but the one we have had from the beginning), that we love one another.

But

You must not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people, but you must love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

You must love the Lord your God with your whole mind, your whole being, and all your strength.

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor' and 'hate your enemy.'

Jesus said to him, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

Jesus answered, "The most important is: 'Listen, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.

But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.
