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.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

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

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.

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

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

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.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him.

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.

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

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

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

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

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

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.

By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.

Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.

No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

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

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

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

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love.

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

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

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