Going over them may be worth your while.
Charity (compassionate love).
Love is best of all
1Cor.8
[1] Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1Cor.13
[1] Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
[2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
[3] And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
[4] Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
[8] Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Pure love is where it's at

Careful who you invite to your love fests
Jude.1
[12] These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
God sees your acts of love
Rev.2
[19] I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Love
Anybody can do THAT...
Matt.5
[43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
[44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
[46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Who or what do you love?
Matt.6
[5] And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Do you really love Jesus?
Matt.10
[37] He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

God loves your neighbor

[6] And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Everybody's out for Number One

[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Mark.10
[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Hey, look at me! Aren't I cool?
Mark.12
[30] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
[31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
[33] And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
[38] And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
Freely you have received. Now freely give
Luke.6
[27] But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
[32] For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
[35] But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
ADMIT it! You're a total screw-up!
Luke.7
[5] For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
[42] And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
[47] Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Get off your duff! Give it all you got!
Luke.10
[27] And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
You give Me garbage!
Luke.11
[42] But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
[43] Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Who's it gonna be? Make up your mind
Luke.16
[13] No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Here comes Mr. Know It All!
Luke.20
[46] Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
He died for YOU! PERSONALLY!
John.3
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
The Branch doesn't fall far from the Tree
John.5
[20] For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
[42] But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
If you don't love Jesus, God is NOT your Father

[42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
I'll do ANYTHING for my Dad
John.10
[17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
He really cares for his friends
John.11
[3] Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
[5] Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
[36] Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Let go and let God
John.12
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[43] For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Oh, for the love of Christ!
John.13
[1] Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
[23] Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
[34] A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
[35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
If you love me, you'll do things my way
John.14
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
[28] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
[31] But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
Let's keep this love boat going
John.15
[9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.
[19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Any friend of Jesus is a friend of God
John.16
[27] For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
Happy days are on the way!
John.17
[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
[24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
[26] And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
The ties that bind
John.19
[26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Jesus' buddy hopes for the best
John.20
[2] Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
Feed my sheep
John.21
[7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
[15] So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
[16] He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
[17] He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
[20] Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
That's the Spirit -- of love!
Rom.5
[5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
I've got your back, don't worry
Rom.8
[28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
[35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Father knows best
Rom.9
[13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Clean up your act
Rom.12
[9] Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Put the other person first
Rom.12
[10] Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Obey the law of love
Rom.13
[8] Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
[9] For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[10] Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Hey, I really need your help!
Rom.15
[30] Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
You won't BELIEVE what's coming!
1Cor.2
[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
I'm a nice guy, BUT...
1Cor.4
[21] What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
If you love God, he got the message
God knows who's who
1Cor.8
[3] But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
Flashing red warning!
1Cor.16
[22] If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
[24] My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
The tracks of my tears
2Cor.2
[4] For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
[8] Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
The wonders of his love
2Cor.5
[14] For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
2Cor.6
[6] By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
Fill 'er up!
2Cor.8
[7] Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
[8] I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
[24] Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Happy helper
2Cor.9
[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
How could you think that!?
2Cor.11
[11] Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
The more I give, the less you appreciate it!
2Cor.12
[15] And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Holy orders
2Cor.13
[11] Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
[14] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
Jesus really has got a hold of me
Gal.2
[20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Help each other
Gal.5
[6] For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
[13] For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
[14] For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
God knows what he's doing
Eph.1
[4] According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
[15] Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
He really and truly loves us
Eph.2
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
You don't even KNOW...
Eph.3
[17] That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
[19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Give the other guy a break
Eph.4
[2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
[15] But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
[16] From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Be good to your wife
Eph.5
[2] And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
[25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
[28] So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
[33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Tell the boys God loves 'em
Eph.6
[23] Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
[24] Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
It's my job to defend the gospel truth
Phil.1
[9] And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
[17] But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Look for some joy in Jesus
Phil.2
[1] If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
[2] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Get your mind out of the gutter
Phil.4
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Faith and love make a good team
Col.1
[4] Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
[8] Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
The love tapestry
Col.2
[2] That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Get OVER it, man!
Col.3
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Thinking about sweet you
1Thes.1
[3] Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Let that love flow!
1Thes.3
[12] And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
You already know what to do
1Thes.4
[9] But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
Suit up for kindly action
1Thes.5
[8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
[13] And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
Truth-haters die
2Thes.2
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[16] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
Worth the wait
2Thes.3
[5] And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
A ton of grace
1Tim.1
[14] And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Ouch! What did I do?!
1Tim.6
[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
[11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Why be a scaredy cat?
2Tim.1
[7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
[13] Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
I'm all I think about
2Tim.3
[2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Will you get a crown?
2Tim.4
[8] Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
[10] For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
Good guy
Tit.1
[8] But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Girls need to chill a little
Tit.2
[4] That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Your friends say 'Hi'
Tit.3
[4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
[15] All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Phlm.1
[5] Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
[7] For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
[9] Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
God takes care of his boys
Heb.1
[9] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
You make God smile
Heb.6
[10] For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Egg each other on -- in a positive way
Heb.10
[24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Tough love is sometimes necessary
Heb.12
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Keep it up
Heb.13
[1] Let brotherly love continue.
Stick with Jesus
Jas.1
[12] Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
The royal road
Jas.2
[5] Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
[8] If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
That Jesus love is great stuff
1Pet.1
[8] Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
[22] Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
The basics
1Pet.2
[17] Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Zip your lip when you're uptight
1Pet.3
[8] Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
[10] For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Oh no! Don't go there!
2Pet.2
[15] Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
A world of hurt
1John.2
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[10] He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
The world is supposed to hate you
1John.3
[1] Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
[10] In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
[11] For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. [14] We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
[16] Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. [17] But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
[18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. [23] And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
Love is everything
1John.4
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
[9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
[10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[16] And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
[17] Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
[19] We love him, because he first loved us.
[20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
[21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Is Jesus your Savior?
1John.5
[1] Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
[2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
[3] For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Walk the walk
2John.1
[1] The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
[3] Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
[5] And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
[6] And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
Who does he think he is?
3John.1
[1] The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
[9] I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
Keep plugged in to Jesus
Jude.1
[2] Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. [21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Washed in the blood
Rev.1
[5] And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
What happened?
Rev.2
[4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Don't worry, they'll get theirs
Rev.3
[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
[19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Win with Jesus
Rev.12
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Go for the gold
Rev.22
[15] For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Love is best of all
1Cor.8
[1] Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1Cor.13
[1] Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
[2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
[3] And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
[4] Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
[8] Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Chase love
1Cor.14
[1] Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1Cor.16
[14] Let all your things be done with charity.
Love is spiritual glue
Col.3
[14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Your faith and love are pleasing
1Thes.3
[6] But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
You can tell they are Christian by their love
2Thes.1
[3] We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
Pure love is where it's at
1Tim.1
[5] Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
A mother's love is good for the mother
1Tim.2
[15] Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
God's love makes a young person wise
1Tim.4
[12] Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Serve others, not your selfish wants
2Tim.2
[22] Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Four attributes of Christian love
2Tim.3
[10] But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

Be a kindly sort
2Pet.1
[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
People notice your helpfulness
3John.1
[6] Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
Careful who you invite to your love fests
Jude.1
[12] These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
God sees your acts of love
Rev.2
[19] I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Love
Anybody can do THAT...
Matt.5
[43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
[44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
[46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Who or what do you love?
Matt.6
[5] And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Do you really love Jesus?
Matt.10
[37] He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
True self love
Matt.19
[19] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
God loves your neighbor
Matt.22
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Me, myself and I
Matt.23
[6] And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Everybody's out for Number One
Matt.24
[12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
All you need is me
Mark.10
[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Hey, look at me! Aren't I cool?
Mark.12
[30] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
[31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
[33] And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
[38] And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
Freely you have received. Now freely give
Luke.6
[27] But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
[32] For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
[35] But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
ADMIT it! You're a total screw-up!
Luke.7
[5] For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
[42] And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
[47] Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Get off your duff! Give it all you got!
Luke.10
[27] And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
You give Me garbage!
Luke.11
[42] But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
[43] Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Who's it gonna be? Make up your mind
Luke.16
[13] No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Here comes Mr. Know It All!
Luke.20
[46] Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
He died for YOU! PERSONALLY!
John.3
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
The Branch doesn't fall far from the Tree
John.5
[20] For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
[42] But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
If you don't love Jesus, God is NOT your Father
John.8
[42] Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
I'll do ANYTHING for my Dad
John.10
[17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
He really cares for his friends
John.11
[3] Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
[5] Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
[36] Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Let go and let God
John.12
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[43] For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Oh, for the love of Christ!
John.13
[1] Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
[23] Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
[34] A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
[35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
If you love me, you'll do things my way
John.14
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
[28] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
[31] But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
Let's keep this love boat going
John.15
[9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.
[19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Any friend of Jesus is a friend of God
John.16
[27] For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
Happy days are on the way!
John.17
[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
[24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
[26] And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
The ties that bind
John.19
[26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Jesus' buddy hopes for the best
John.20
[2] Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
Feed my sheep
John.21
[7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
[15] So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
[16] He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
[17] He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
[20] Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
That's the Spirit -- of love!
Rom.5
[5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
I've got your back, don't worry
Rom.8
[28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
[35] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Father knows best
Rom.9
[13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Clean up your act
Rom.12
[9] Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Put the other person first
Rom.12
[10] Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Obey the law of love
Rom.13
[8] Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
[9] For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[10] Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Hey, I really need your help!
Rom.15
[30] Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
You won't BELIEVE what's coming!
1Cor.2
[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
I'm a nice guy, BUT...
1Cor.4
[21] What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
If you love God, he got the message
God knows who's who
1Cor.8
[3] But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
Flashing red warning!
1Cor.16
[22] If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
[24] My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
The tracks of my tears
2Cor.2
[4] For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
[8] Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
The wonders of his love
2Cor.5
[14] For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
2Cor.6
[6] By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
Fill 'er up!
2Cor.8
[7] Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
[8] I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
[24] Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Happy helper
2Cor.9
[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
How could you think that!?
2Cor.11
[11] Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
The more I give, the less you appreciate it!
2Cor.12
[15] And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
Holy orders
2Cor.13
[11] Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
[14] The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
Jesus really has got a hold of me
Gal.2
[20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Help each other
Gal.5
[6] For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
[13] For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
[14] For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
God knows what he's doing
Eph.1
[4] According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
[15] Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
He really and truly loves us
Eph.2
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
You don't even KNOW...
Eph.3
[17] That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
[19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Give the other guy a break
Eph.4
[2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
[15] But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
[16] From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Be good to your wife
Eph.5
[2] And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
[25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
[28] So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
[33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Tell the boys God loves 'em
Eph.6
[23] Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
[24] Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
It's my job to defend the gospel truth
Phil.1
[9] And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
[17] But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Look for some joy in Jesus
Phil.2
[1] If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
[2] Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Get your mind out of the gutter
Phil.4
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Faith and love make a good team
Col.1
[4] Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
[8] Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
The love tapestry
Col.2
[2] That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Get OVER it, man!
Col.3
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Thinking about sweet you
1Thes.1
[3] Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Let that love flow!
1Thes.3
[12] And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
You already know what to do
1Thes.4
[9] But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
Suit up for kindly action
1Thes.5
[8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
[13] And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
Truth-haters die
2Thes.2
[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[16] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
Worth the wait
2Thes.3
[5] And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
A ton of grace
1Tim.1
[14] And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
Ouch! What did I do?!
1Tim.6
[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
[11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Why be a scaredy cat?
2Tim.1
[7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
[13] Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
I'm all I think about
2Tim.3
[2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Will you get a crown?
2Tim.4
[8] Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
[10] For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
Good guy
Tit.1
[8] But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Girls need to chill a little
Tit.2
[4] That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Your friends say 'Hi'
Tit.3
[4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
[15] All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Phlm.1
[5] Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
[7] For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
[9] Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
God takes care of his boys
Heb.1
[9] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
You make God smile
Heb.6
[10] For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Egg each other on -- in a positive way
Heb.10
[24] And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Tough love is sometimes necessary
Heb.12
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Keep it up
Heb.13
[1] Let brotherly love continue.
Stick with Jesus
Jas.1
[12] Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
The royal road
Jas.2
[5] Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
[8] If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
That Jesus love is great stuff
1Pet.1
[8] Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
[22] Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
The basics
1Pet.2
[17] Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Zip your lip when you're uptight
1Pet.3
[8] Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
[10] For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Oh no! Don't go there!
2Pet.2
[15] Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
A world of hurt
1John.2
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[10] He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
The world is supposed to hate you
1John.3
[1] Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
[10] In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
[11] For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. [14] We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
[16] Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. [17] But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
[18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. [23] And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
Love is everything
1John.4
[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
[9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
[10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
[12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
[16] And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
[17] Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
[19] We love him, because he first loved us.
[20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
[21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
Is Jesus your Savior?
1John.5
[1] Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
[2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
[3] For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Walk the walk
2John.1
[1] The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
[3] Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
[5] And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
[6] And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
Who does he think he is?
3John.1
[1] The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
[9] I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
Keep plugged in to Jesus
Jude.1
[2] Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. [21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Washed in the blood
Rev.1
[5] And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
What happened?
Rev.2
[4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Don't worry, they'll get theirs
Rev.3
[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
[19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Win with Jesus
Rev.12
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Go for the gold
Rev.22
[15] For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
