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

But I say to you, Love your enemies: bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you:

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans the same?

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily, I say to you, They have their reward.

No one can serve two masters: for he will either hate the one and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and riches.

Honor your father and your mother; and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Jesus said to him: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind.

And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

They also love the most honorable places at suppers, and the first seats in the synagogues,

and because iniquity abounds, the love of many will grow cold.

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

And the second, which is like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as your self. There is no other commandment greater than these.

and to love him with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in robes, and love salutations in the markets,

But I say to you that hear: Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you;

And if you love them that love you, what thanks have you? for even sinners love those who love them.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind to the unthankful and the evil.

But as they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, then, will love him the more?

He answered and said: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole strength, and with your whole understanding, and your neighbor as yourself.

But alas for you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, and those you ought not to have left undone.

Alas for you, Pharisees! for you love the chief seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

No servant can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve God and riches.

Beware of the scribes, who delight to walk in robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers;

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

Jesus said to them: If God were your father, you would love me; for I came forth from God and have come hither; nor, indeed, did I come of myself, but he sent me.

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

By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

If you love me, keep my commandments;

He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

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

But this takes place that the world may know that I love the Father, and even as he gave me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.

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

This is my commandment: That you love one another, as I have loved you.

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

These things I command 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, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Father, I wish that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

And I have made known to them thy name, and will continue to make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

When, therefore, they had taken breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter: Simon, son of Jonah, Do you love me more than these? He said to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. 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, thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Be a shepherd to my sheep.

He said to him a third time: Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep.

and this hope disappoints us not; because the love of God is poured abundantly into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that is given to us.

But God makes known his love to us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us:

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

Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? Shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?

nor hight, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. SECTION THIRD. God's Dealings with Israel as a People,

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

in love to the brotherhood, be kindly affectionate one to another; in showing honor, be examples one to another;

Owe no one any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another, has fulfilled the law.

For these commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not indulge evil desire; and if there is any other commandment, all are summed up in this saying, namely: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Love works no evil to our neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.

But if your brother is grieved on account of your food, you no longer walk according to love. Do not, with your food, destroy him, for whom Christ died.

Now I beseech you, brethren, 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: Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and into the heart of man have not entered the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

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

Now, with respect to meats offered to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up with pride, but love edifies.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of an gels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and though I deliver up my body to be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love boasts not; is not vain,

Love never fails; but whether there be gifts of prophecy, they shall have an end; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall have an end.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the great est of these is love.

Cultivate love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

Let every thing be done by you in love.

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

For out of much affliction and distress of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you might be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly for you.

Wherefore, I exhort you to give him an assurance of your love.

For the love of Christ constrains us, because we have this judgment that if one died for all, then have all died:

by purity, by knowledge, by long forbearance, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,

Now as you excel in every thing, in faith, and in speech, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love for us, see that you excel in this gift also.

I do not speak this as a commandment, but on account of the zeal of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

Therefore, give to them, in the presence of the churches, a proof of your love, and of our boasting of you.

Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.

I, indeed, will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

Finally, brethren, farewell; be perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace; and the God of love and of peace will be with you.

{ (13:13) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.} { :}

For, in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith that works by love.

For you have been called to freedom, brethren: only use not your freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but become servants to one another, through love.

For all the law is fulfilled in one commandment, in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

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

according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love,

For this reason I also, since I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and your love to all the saints,

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

that, being rooted and founded in love, you may be fully able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and hight,

and to know the love of the Christ that passes our knowledge, that you may be filled with aft the fullness of God.

with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love,

but speaking truthfully in love, we might grow up in all things, into him who is the head, even the Christ,

from whom the whole body, compactly fitted together, and united by every helping joint, according to the energy in the measure of each part, makes increase of the body, for the building up of itself in love.

and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.

Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,

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

But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she 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 those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

For God is my witness how ardently I love you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

I also pray for this, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding,

These do it from love, because they know that I am set for the defense of the gospel;

If, therefore, there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort arising from love, if any participation of the Spirit, if any affections and mercies,

fulfill my joy, that you be of the same mind, having the same love, of one soul, of one mind;
