One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

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

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

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

If you love me, keep my commands.
