He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1Jo 4:8)
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. (1Jo 4:18)
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? (1Jo 4:20)
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. 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. 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. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is
not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things,
believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 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. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But
when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I
was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I
became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then
face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now
abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. (1 Corinthians 13)
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his
commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his
commandments are not grievous. (1Jo 5:2-3)
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. (2Jo 1:6)
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (1 Jo 2:3)
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. (2Jo 1:3)
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. (1Jo 4:18)
