And that 'hope never disappoints.' For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;

But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.

For Sin shall not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of Love.

What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of Love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!

But we do know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love him-those who have received the Call in accordance with his purpose.

Who is there to separate us from the love of the Christ? Will trouble, or difficulty, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?

Nor Height, nor Depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus, our Lord!

And so in our own time, too, there is to be found a remnant of our nation selected by God in love.

But if in love, then no longer as a result of obedience. Otherwise love would cease to be love.

Let your love be sincere. Hate the wrong; cling to the right.

In brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in showing respect, set an example of deference to one another;

Owe nothing to any one except brotherly love; for he who loves his fellow men has satisfied the Law.

The commandments, 'Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet,' and whatever other commandment there is, are all summed up in the words--'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thou dost thyself.'

Love never wrongs a neighbor. Therefore Love fully satisfies the Law.

If, for the sake of what you eat, you wound your Brother's feelings, your life has ceased to be ruled by love. Do not, by what you eat, ruin a man for whom Christ died!

I beg you, then, Brothers, by Jesus Christ, our Lord, and by the love inspired by the Spirit, to join me in earnest prayer to God on my behalf.
