² And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

¹⁹ We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

⁹ Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.

¹⁶ That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

¹⁷ So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

¹⁸ May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,

¹⁹ And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.

²⁰ Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

¹² This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

⁸ But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

²³ Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.

³⁴ I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.
