and fortitude character, and character, hope??5 a hope which never disappoints us. For through the Holy Spirit who has given to us, the "brimming river of the love of God" has overflowed in our hearts.

But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Now we know that all things continually work together for good to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose.

What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall anguish, or calamity, or persecution, or famine? Shall nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.

As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.

Never owe any one anything save the debt of brotherly love; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.

For the Law which says, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, and whatever other commandment there be??s all summed up in this one saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Love never wrongs his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilment of the Law.

If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died.

Brothers, I beseech you, by Jesus Christ our Lord, and by the love which the Spirit gives, to help me in my struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf,

Nay, as it is written. Eye has not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither have entered into man's heart The things which God has prepared For those who love him.

Now in regard to food which has been offered to idols, we are sure of course that "we all have knowledge." But knowledge puffs up, while love builds up.

Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal.

Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it avails me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up,

is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing,

Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded.

Faith, Hope, Love endure??hese three; but the greatest of these is Love.

Hotly pursue this love, yet seek earnestly spiritual gifts, and chiefly that you may prophesy.

So I beg you to reinstate him in your love.

For the love of Christ overmasters me; because I thus judge that if One has died for all, then all have died;

with purity, understanding, patience, and kindness; by the Holy Spirit, by love sincere,

There is no narrowness in my love; but the narrowness is in your own.

Now then, as you excel in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and all zeal and in your love to me, see to it that you excel in this grace also.

I do not say this by way of command, but by the zeal of others I am trying to prove the reality of your love.

So show to the churches an evidence of your love, and a justification to these brothers of my boasting about you.

And why? Because I love you not? God knows I do.

For my part, I will most gladly spend, yea, and will myself be spent, for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I to be loved the less?

Finally, brothers, farewell. Aim at perfection, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace; so shall the God of love and peace be with you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

because in Christ neither circumcision has any value, nor uncircumcision, but faith which works through love.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom; only do not make your freedom an excuse for self-indulgence, but in love enslave yourselves to one another.

For the whole Law has been fulfilled in this one precept, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control;

For this reason I also, from the time when I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and your love to all the saints,

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

that Christ may make his home in your hearts through your faith; that you may be so deeply rooted and so firmly grounded in love,

and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.

With all humility and gentleness and long-suffering forbear with one another in love;

but holding the truth in love we shall grow up in every part into him who is our Head, even Christ.

From him the whole body (knit together and compacted by all its joints) makes continual growth of the body so as to build itself up in love, through the energy of his bounteous provision, according to the need of each several part.

and to lead lives of love, just as Christ also loved you and gave himself up for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for you, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for "an odor of sweetness."

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,

That is how husbands ought to love their wives, as they love their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.

Peace to the brothers and love, with faith from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

May grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with sincerity.

And it is my prayer that your love may abound yet more and more in intelligence and insight

These latter out of their love, because they know that I am set here for the defense of the gospel;

If then there is any comfort in Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if there is any companionship of the Spirit, if there is any tenderness or pity,

I entreat you to make my joy overflow by living in harmony; possessing the same love, and with one soul united in one purpose.

(since I heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love to all the saints)

and it is he who has told me of your love for me in the spirit.
