loving one another

¹³No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.

³⁴I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also must you love one another.

⁷Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. ⁸Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love. ⁹The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him. ¹⁰In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹²No one has ever seen God. But if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

³⁴I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also must you love one another. ³⁵By this, all shall recognize that you are my disciples: if you will have love for one another.”

⁸You should owe nothing to anyone, except so as to love one another. For whoever loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

⁸But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.

¹⁰loving one another with fraternal charity, surpassing one another in honor:

¹⁸Do not seek revenge, neither should you be mindful of the injury of your fellow citizens. You shall love your friend as yourself. I am the Lord.

²⁰If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

¹¹Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

¹¹For this is the announcement that you heard from the beginning: that you should love one another.

³⁵By this, all shall recognize that you are my disciples: if you will have love for one another.”

⁷Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

¹²This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

²²So chastise your souls with the obedience of charity, in fraternal love, and love one another from a simple heart, attentively.

¹If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal. ²And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing. ³And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing. ⁴Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. ⁵Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. ⁶Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
