Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.

The Lord appeared to me (Israel) from ages past, saying,“I have loved you with an everlasting love;Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.

I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you].

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Take note, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet and make them know [without any doubt] that I have loved you.
