And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

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.

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

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.

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.

If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
