33 Stop being deceived: "Wicked friends lead to evil ends."
16 This is how we have come to know love: Christ gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.
17 Whoever has earthly possessions and notices a brother in need and yet withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God remain in him?
18 Little children, we must stop loving in word and in tongue, but instead love in action and in truth.
23 And so the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." And so he was called God's friend.
13 No one showsgreater love than when he lays down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15 I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
11 Dear friends, if this is the way God loved us, we must also love one another.
12 No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
12 "This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 No one showsgreater love than when he lays down his life for his friends.
10 Be devoted to each other with mutual affection. Excel in showing respect for each other.
