3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh "and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions —it is by grace you have been saved.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
27 "But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
19 We love because he first loved us.
17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, "saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor "and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
5 Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
