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

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

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

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

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

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

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.

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

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.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.

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.

So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

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

Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

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

Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you— better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?

Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave.

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.”

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.

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

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

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

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

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

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