These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,

and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.

Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;

be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.

'And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut;

and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.

'When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him,

He saith to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, 'Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, 'Feed my sheep;

The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;

'A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

and -- if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them;

According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love;

Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

if any one may say -- 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

'This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.

When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Feed my lambs.'

He saith to him again, a second time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, 'Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, 'Tend my sheep.'

the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law.

and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love.

and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

And concerning the brotherly love, ye have no need of my writing to you, for ye yourselves are God-taught to love one another,

Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins;

Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.'

therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'

Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world -- to the end he loved them.

he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

'For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same?

To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled,

and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:
