for this I know of you, that you are not possess'd with any love for God.

Jesus said to them, if God were your father, ye would love me: for I was commissioned by God to come; I did not come of my self, but he sent me.

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

therefore doth my father love me, because I lay down my life, but I shall reassume it.

his two sisters therefore sent this message to Jesus; he, Lord, whom you love, is sick.

a new commandment I give unto you, "that ye love one another; that you would have the same love for one another as I have had for you."

by this mutual love shall all men know that you are my disciples.

if ye love me, keep my commandments.

he that hath received my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me, shall be beloved by my father, and I will love him, and shew my self unto him.

Jesus answered him, he that loves me, will observe my precepts: and my father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

he does not love me, who does not observe my precepts: for the doctrine which you have heard, is not mine, but the father's who sent me.

not that he has any thing against me, but that the world may know that I love the father, by my executing the commands which my father gave me: arise, let us go hence.

as the father has loved me, and I have loved you: so do you persevere in your love to me.

your love to me will be in keeping my commandments: even as I love my father by keeping his commandments.

this is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

there cannot be greater love than that of a man, who lays down his life for his friends.

Above all I enjoin you, to love one another.

if you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world does hate you.

father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am going; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me: for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world; yet,

to them I have declared thy name, and will declare it: that thou mayst love them as thou hast loved me, and I have loved them."

So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me more than these do? yes, Lord, said he, you know that I love you. Jesus reply'd, feed my lambs.

then he ask'd him the second time, Simon son of Jonas do you love me? yes, Lord, said he; you know that I love you. Jesus reply'd, feed my sheep.

Jesus said to him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter was grieved at his asking him the third time, "do you love me?" and he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, feed my sheep.
