Love: patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or
rude; 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.

What Did Jesus Say About
Love
Matthew 5:43-48
You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say
to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may
be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil
and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the
tax-collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are
you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You, therefore,
must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 6:24-25
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 cannotserve God and money. “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your
life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you
will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Mark 12:28-30
And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another,
and seeing that he
answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of
all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our
God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
John 14:21-24
Whoever has my
commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be
loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Judas (not
Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us,
and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my
word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home
with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And
the word that you hear
is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
John 15:9-17
As the Father has loved
me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 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. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and
that your joy may be full. “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. You are my friends if you do what I command
you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his
master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from
my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed
you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that
whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I
command you, so that you will love one another.

in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ
Jesus our Lord .

lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called
