And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

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 in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

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

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou 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 I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

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

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

We love him, because he first loved us.
