John 13:34

34 aA new commandment bI give to you, cthat you love one another: djust as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

John 15:12

12 e“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Romans 13:8

Fulfilling the Law Through Love

8 fOwe no one anything, except to love each other, for gthe one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

1 Corinthians 13

The Way of Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2And if I have hprophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, iso as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 jIf I give away all I have, and kif I deliver up my body to be burned, ▼
▼Some manuscripts  deliver up my body [to death] that I may boast
 but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 mLove is patient and nkind; love odoes not envy or boast; it pis not arrogant 5or rude. It qdoes not insist on its own way; it ris not irritable or resentful; ▼
▼Greek  irritable and does not count up wrongdoing
 6it tdoes not rejoice at wrongdoing, but urejoices with the truth. 7 vLove bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, wendures all things.

8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9For xwe know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but ywhen the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12For znow we see in a mirror dimly, but aathen face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as abI have been fully known.

13So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Ephesians 5:2

2And acwalk in love, adas Christ loved us and aegave himself up for us, a affragrant agoffering and sacrifice to God.

Colossians 2:2

2that ahtheir hearts may be encouraged, being aiknit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of ajGod’s mystery, which is Christ,

1 Thessalonians 4:9

9Now concerning akbrotherly love alyou have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been amtaught by God anto love one another,
