3 Among them we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,
5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
19 We love because he first loved us.
8 Above all, hold unfailing your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
6 it does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant
5 or rude, it does not seek its own, it is not provoked, it keeps no record of wrongs,
27 »But I say to you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
7 Why, one will hardly die for a righteous manthough perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
43 »You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48 You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
5 he saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but because of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
