"Ye have heard how it is said, 'Thou shalt love thine neighbor, and hate thine enemy.'

But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you;

For if ye love them which love you, what reward shall ye have? Do not the Publicans even so?

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

And because iniquity shall have the upper hand, the love of many shall abate.

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.' This is the first commandment.

And the second is like unto this, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself.' There is none other commandment greater than these."

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the strength. And to love a man's neighbor as himself, is a greater thing than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

And he said unto them in his doctrine, "Beware of the scribes which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market places,

"But I say unto you which hear: Love your enemies. Do good to them which hate you.

Jesus answered, and said unto him, "If a man love me and will keep my sayings, my father also will love him, and we will come unto him, and will dwell with him.

But that the world may know that I love the father; Therefore as the father gave me commandment, even so do I. Rise, let us go hence."

"AS the father hath loved me, even so have I loved you. Continue in my love.

If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love: even as I have kept my father's commandments, and abide in his love.

This is my commandment: that ye love together as I have loved you.

Greater love than this hath no man, than that a man bestow his life for his friends.

This command I you, that ye love together.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own. Howbeit, because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore hateth you the world.

And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, be in them, and that I be in them."

He said unto him the third time, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" And Peter sorrowed because he said to him the third time, "Lovest thou me," and said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee." Jesus said unto him, "Feed my sheep.

and hope maketh not ashamed: for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the holy ghost, which is given unto us.

But God setteth out his love that he hath to us; Seeing that while we were yet sinners; Christ died for us.

For we know well that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose.

Who shall separate us from the love of God? Shall tribulation? Or anguish? Or persecution, other hunger? Other nakedness? Other peril? Other sword?

I beseech you brethren for our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the spirit, that ye help me in my business, with your prayers to God for me,

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

To speak of things dedicated unto idols, we are sure that we all have knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but love edifieth.

But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

Though I spake with the tongues of men and angels, and yet had no love, I were even as sounding brass: or as a tinkling cymbal.

And though I could prophesy, and understood all secrets, and all knowledge: yea, if I had all faith so that I could move mountains out of their places, and yet had no love, I were nothing.

And though I bestowed all my goods to feed the poor, and though I gave my body even that I burned, and yet had no love, it profiteth me nothing.

Love suffereth long, and is courteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not forwardly, swelleth not,

Though that prophesying fail, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge vanish away: yet love falleth never away.

Now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chief of these is love.

Labour for love, and covet spiritual gifts: and most chiefly for to prophesy.

Let all your business be done in love.

in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the holy ghost, in love unfeigned,

Now therefore, as ye are rich in all parts, in faith, in word, in knowledge, in all ferventness, and in love, which ye have to us: even so see that ye be plenteous in this benevolence.

This say I not as commanding: but because others are so fervent, therefore prove I your love, whether it be perfect or no.

Wherefore show unto them the proof of your love, and of the rejoicing that we have of you, that the congregations may see it.

Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth.

I will very gladly bestow, and will be bestowed for your souls: though the more I love you, the less I am loved again.

Finally, brethren, fare ye well: be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace, shall be with you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the holy ghost, be with you all. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto the Corinthians, Sent from Philippi, a city in Macedonia, by Titus and Luke}

But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God.

in all humbleness of mind, and meekness, and long suffering, forbearing one another through love,

But let us follow the truth in love, and in all things grow in him which is the head, that is to say Christ,

in whom all the body is coupled and knit together, in every joint, wherewith one ministereth to another - according to the operation as every part hath his measure - and increaseth the body, unto the edifying of itself in love.

and walk in love even as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet savour to God.

Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it,

So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

Nevertheless, do ye so that every one of you love his wife truly even as himself: And let the wife see that she fear her husband.

Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith from God the father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ in pureness. Amen. {Sent from Rome unto the Ephesians by Tychicus.}
