Love

But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,

All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.

…because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.

I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.

I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.

For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds.

Continue in brotherly love.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?

If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,

Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.

Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.

Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

…and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to 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.

By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.

By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?

Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.

And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us.

Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.

And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.

We love because He first loved us.

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

And we have this commandment from Him: Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.

By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.

By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,

The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.

And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.

And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:

They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

These men are hidden reefs in your love feasts, shamelessly feasting with you but shepherding only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried along by the wind; fruitless trees in autumn, twice dead after being uprooted.

…keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.

But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.

I know your deeds—your love, your faith, your service, your perseverance—and your latest deeds are greater than your first.

As for those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead, I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you.

Those I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.

They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
