Love

We love because He first loved us.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her

And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

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

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

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

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”

For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love

and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.

But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’

And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
