  • Gal 5:13-14 : 13 Practice Love For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely,“You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
  • John 13:34-35 : 34 “I give you a new commandment– to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples– if you have love for one another.”
  • John 15:17 : 17 This I command you– to love one another.
  • Rom 13:8-9 : 8 Exhortation to Love Neighbors Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments,“Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet,”(and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this,“Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
  • Rom 14:15 : 15 For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.
  • 1 Cor 8:1 : 1 Food Sacrificed to Idols With regard to food sacrificed to idols, we know that“we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
  • 1 Cor 12:31-14:1 : 31 But you should be eager for the greater gifts.And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison. 1 The Way of Love If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit. 4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. 6 It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, 10 but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Prophecy and Tongues Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,
