Ye have heard, that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy:

but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that abuse you and persecute you;

For if ye love only them that love you, what reward do ye expect? do not even the publicans the same?

Be ye therefore perfect in love and goodness, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

And when thou prayest, be not like the hypocrites; for they love to pray in public assemblies, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be taken notice of by men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other: ye cannot serve God and mammon:

and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self.

And Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind: this is the first and great command.

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

and love the uppermost places at feasts,

the love of many will grow cold.

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 or chief commandment,

and the second is like it, even this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:" there is no other commandment greater than these.

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

And He said unto them as He was teaching them, Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and salutations in public-places,

But I say unto you my hearers, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,

If ye love only them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even the wicked love those that love them:

But do ye love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing from it: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the sons of the most High; for He is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked:

and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

And he answered, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbor as thyself.

But wo unto you pharisees, who tithe even your mint, and rue, and all your herbs, and pass by judgement and the love of God: these ought ye to practise and not to omit the others.

Wo unto you pharisees; for ye love the chief seat in synagogues, and salutations in public places.

No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.

Beware of the scribes, who affect to walk in long robes, and love salutations in public places, and the chief seats in the Synagogues, and uppermost places at feasts;

but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I came forth, and do come, from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.

For this doth the Father love me; because I lay down my life: that I may take it again.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; ---as I have loved you, that ye also love one another: for by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,

if ye have mutual love to each other.

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father,

He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest my self to him.

Jesus answered and said unto him, If any one love me, he will observe my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and will make our abode with him.

He that doth not love me, doth not observe my words: and yet the word that ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who hath sent me.

but that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father hath commanded me. Arise, let us go hence.

As the Father hath loved me, and I have loved you, continue in my love:

and if ye keep my commandments ye will continue in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue in his love.

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

Greater love hath no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends:

These commands I give you, that ye should love one another.

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

And I have made known to them thy name, and will farther make it known; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I also in them.

Now when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

He saith to him again the second time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.

He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? Peter was grieved, that He said to him the third time, Dost thou love me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

and experience hope, and this hope maketh us not ashamed; because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the holy Spirit that is given to us.

But God recommendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

And we know that all things co-operate for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose;

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall affliction, 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 unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good;

be tenderly affected with brotherly love to each other, in honor preferring one another:

Owe no one any thing, but to love one another; for he that loveth others hath fulfilled the law:

for this command, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet, and every other social precept, is summed up in this, namely, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

Love worketh no evil to our neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

But if thy brother be grieved by thy food, thou dost not herein walk in love. Do not by thy food destroy him, for whom Christ died.

Therefore when I have dispatched this, and sealed this fruit of love to them, I will come by you into Spain.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye earnestly strive together with me in prayers to God for me;

But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for those that love Him."

What do ye chuse? that I should come to you with a rod? or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

But if any man love God, he is owned by Him.

And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three graces; but the greatest of these is love.

and let all your affairs be carried on in love.

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be made a curse.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

For through much affliction and distress of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye might be grieved, but that ye might know the love with which I abound towards you.

Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love to him.

For the love of Christ constraineth us, being fully persuaded of this, that if One died for all, then were all dead.

by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, with the armour of righteousness on the right and on the left; through honor and dishonor,

Now as a return of our love (I speak as to my children) be ye also enlarged towards us.

And as ye abound in every other grace, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

I speak not by way of command, but to prove the sincerity of your love also, by means of the forwardness of others.

Therefore shew to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and the justness of our boasting concerning you.

Wherefore? because I love you not?

And I will with the greatest pleasure spend and be spent for your souls; even though the more I love you, the less I should be loved.

Finally, my brethren, farewel: be reformed, be exhorted, be of one mind, live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

and the love of God, and the communication of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only abuse not this liberty for an occasion to indulge the flesh, but by mutual love serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one precept, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,

according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unblameable before Him in love:

and your love to all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

But God being rich in mercy, through his great love wherewith He loved us,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith: and be ye rooted and grounded in love,

and height, and to know the love of Christ, which surpasseth knowledge; that ye may be filled according to the abundant fulness of God.

and with long-suffering forbear one another in love,

but holding the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, even Christ:

from whom the whole body being fitly joined together and compacted by the aid of every joint, according to the operation proportioned to every part, maketh an increase to the edification of itself in love.

Be ye therefore imitators of God as his dear children; and walk in love,

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave up Himself for it:

Men ought so to love their wives, as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and let the wife reverence her husband.

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

Grace be with all that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

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

the others out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

If therefore there be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any participation of the Spirit,

if any bowels of compassion, compleat ye my joy, be like-minded, maintaining the same love, with your souls united, in attending to the one thing needful.

(having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love to all the saints:)

who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
