Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
