" If you love Me, keep My commandments.

"He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

"You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if [there is] any other commandment, are [all] summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not [use] liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

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

And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.

Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
