Help carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ.

However, the command I now write you is new, because its truth is seen in Christ and also in you. For the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining.

If we love others, we live in the light, and so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin.

We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love others. Those who do not love are still under the power of death.

This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us. We too, then, ought to give our lives for others!

My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.

And so I ask you, dear Lady: let us all love one another. This is no new command I am writing you; it is the command which we have had from the beginning.

My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you.

The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them.

This, then, is what I command you: love one another.

I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the LORD.

Treat them as you would an Israelite, and love them as you love yourselves. Remember that you were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

How excellent are the LORD's faithful people! My greatest pleasure is to be with them.

I am a friend of all who serve you, of all who obey your laws.

Love one another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show respect for one another.

If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it; if one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness.

All of you are Christ's body, and each one is a part of it.

Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud;

love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth.

For when we are in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the lack of it makes any difference at all; what matters is faith that works through love.

As for you, my friends, you were called to be free. But do not let this freedom become an excuse for letting your physical desires control you. Instead, let love make you serve one another.

For the whole Law is summed up in one commandment: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

So then, as often as we have the chance, we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith.

Your life must be controlled by love, just as Christ loved us and gave his life for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God.

Your life in Christ makes you strong, and his love comforts you. You have fellowship with the Spirit, and you have kindness and compassion for one another.

Don't do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble toward one another, always considering others better than yourselves.

The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had:

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all God's people.

You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you.

May the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow more and more and become as great as our love for you.

There is no need to write you about love for each other. You yourselves have been taught by God how you should love one another.

And you have, in fact, behaved like this toward all the believers in all of Macedonia. So we beg you, our friends, to do even more.

Our friends, we must thank God at all times for you. It is right for us to do so, because your faith is growing so much and the love each of you has for the others is becoming greater.

Keep on loving one another as Christians.

You will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, which is found in the scripture, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."

Now that by your obedience to the truth you have purified yourselves and have come to have a sincere love for other believers, love one another earnestly with all your heart.

To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another, and be kind and humble with one another.

Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; instead, pay back with a blessing, because a blessing is what God promised to give you when he called you.

to your godliness add Christian affection; and to your Christian affection add love.

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God.

And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him.

Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Messiah is a child of God; and whoever loves a father loves his child also.
