Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Do everything in love.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
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.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
We love because he first loved us.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
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.
