A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ...
By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
Let all that you do be done in love.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you,
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
We love because he first loved us.
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. ...
And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ...
And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
Remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices
But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” ...
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another—
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.
I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another.
See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.
However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man.
Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
