"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?

"When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon.

Honor your father and mother.' And, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.

you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.

The second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

"But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

When they couldn't pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"

He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren't able to serve God and mammon."

"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.

Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

If you love me, keep my commandments.

One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."

Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me.

But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.

"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

"I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them."

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."

He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

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

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

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

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;

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

For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don't destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him."

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

But now faith, hope, and love remain -- these three. The greatest of these is love.

Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Let all that you do be done in love.

If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. Come, Lord!

My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.

Why? Because I don't love you? God knows.

I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love;

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

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

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;

but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
