Mat 7:12, Joh 1:17, Rom 3:19-21, 13:9, 1Ti 1:5, Jam 2:8, 1Jo 4:7-11, 19-21 | ESV | STEP | So whatever you wish that others would do to you , do also to them , for this is the Law and the Prophets .

19 Now we know that whatever ^ethe law says it speaks to those who are under the law, ^fso that every mouth may be stopped, and ^gthe whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For ^hby works of the law no human being ^{▼▼Greek flesh} will be justified in his sight, since ^jthrough the law comes knowledge of sin.

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

21 But now ^kthe righteousness of God ^lhas been manifested apart from the law, although ^mthe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—

Romans 13:9

9 For the commandments, ⁿ“You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: ^o“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

1 Timothy 1:5

5 The aim of our charge is love ^pthat issues from a pure heart and ^qa good conscience and ^ra sincere faith.

James 2:8

8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ^s“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

1 John 4:7-11

God Is Love

7 Beloved, ^tlet us love one another, for love is from God, and ^uwhoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 ^vAnyone who does not love does not know God, because ^wGod is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that ^xGod sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, ^ynot that we have loved God ^zbut that he loved us and sent his Son to be ^aathe propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

1 John 4:19-21

19 ^abWe love because he first loved us. 20 ^acIf anyone says, “I love God,” and ^adhates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot ^{▼▼Some manuscripts how can he} love God ^afwhom he has not seen. 21 And ^agthis commandment we have from him: ^ahwhoever loves God must also love his brother.
