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

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

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.

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.

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.

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

‘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.’

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

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

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

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.

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

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

“And with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”

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.

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

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

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

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

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

And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Do everything in love.

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

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

We love because He first loved us.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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