And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.

But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to purpose.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or restriction, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Love without hypocrisy, abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,

with brotherly love toward each other, affectionate, leading each other in recognition,

sharing for the needs of the sanctified, pursuing love for strangers.

Owe no man anything except to love each other, for he who loves the other has fulfilled law.

For this, Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not murder, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not testify falsely, Thou shall not covet, and if there be any other commandment it is summarized in this saying, in, Thou shall love

Love works no evil to the neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of law.

For if thy brother is distressed because of food, thou no longer walk according to love. Do not destroy with thy food that man for whom Christ died.

Now I beseech you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive with me in prayers to God for me.
