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

But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

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

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Let love be without hypocrisy, shrinking from evil, cleaving to good;

in brotherly love to one another, loving fervently, having led one another in honor.

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves another has fulfilled the Law.

For: "Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not lust;" and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Love works no ill to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

But if your brother is grieved with your food, you no longer walk according to love. Do not with your food destroy him for whom Christ died.

But I exhort you, brothers, for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
