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

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.

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

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

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

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.

Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

If you love me, keep my commands.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

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

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

The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

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

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.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.”

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

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

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

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.

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

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.

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

We love because He first loved us.

Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands.

‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

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

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

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.

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.’

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.

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

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

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

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

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

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

Do everything in love.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

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

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.
