1 John 4:21

³⁷Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’³⁸This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

¹⁸“‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

¹¹For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—

¹⁴For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

⁹But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

⁸Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

¹²“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

³⁴A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. ³⁵By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

⁹Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. ¹⁰In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,

²³This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
