³⁷ And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding --

³⁸ this is a first and great command;

³⁹ and the second `is' like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;

⁴⁰ on these -- the two commands -- all the law and the prophets do hang.'

¹³ and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these `is' love.

¹⁵ Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one -- the son of her womb? Yea, these forget -- but I -- I forget not thee.

¹⁶ Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls `are' before Me continually.

¹⁷ Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee, and laying thee waste, go out from thee.

¹⁵ `If ye love me, my commands keep,

⁹ The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

⁹ The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

¹⁰ in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

¹¹ in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

⁴⁰ `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did `it' to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did `it'.

³⁵ `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

⁸ To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled,

³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength -- this `is' the first command;

³¹ and the second `is' like `it', this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; -- greater than these there is no other command.'

³² And the scribe said to him, `Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;

¹ Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age `is' His kindness.

² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding --

³⁸ this is a first and great command;

³⁹ and the second `is' like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;

⁴⁰ on these -- the two commands -- all the law and the prophets do hang.'

⁴¹ And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,

⁷ Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

⁸ he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?

¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

⁷ Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

⁵ and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

¹⁹ we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

⁹ According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;

¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

¹¹ these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

²³ Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.

⁴⁴ but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,

¹⁴ and above all these things, `have' love, which is a bond of the perfection,

¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

³⁸ for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

³⁹ nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that `is' in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions love covereth.

⁸ Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

¹⁴ let all your things be done in love.

¹⁰ in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye;

¹⁴ and above all these things, `have' love, which is a bond of the perfection,

¹⁵ and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.

⁹ but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him --'

³ Let not kindness and truth forsake thee, Bind them on thy neck, Write them on the tablet of thy heart,

⁴ And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.

⁵ Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.

¹⁴ we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

¹⁶ and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

¹⁷ In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we -- we also are in this world;

¹⁸ fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;

¹⁹ we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

¹¹ because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,

⁸ he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

⁸ and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins;

¹⁴ for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;'

¹⁶ that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

¹⁷ that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

¹⁸ that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, what `is' the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,

¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

¹⁰ for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that `is' through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹² And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

⁴ Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.

² with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?'

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

²⁴ he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

²⁵ `These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,

¹² `All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

¹² God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

²¹ and this `is' the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

¹⁶ and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed `it' with the bathing of the water in the saying,

²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

¹⁹ we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

²⁰ if any one may say -- `I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

²¹ and this `is' the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

⁷ all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

⁸ The love doth never fail; and whether `there be' prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless;

¹ See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

³⁴ `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

³⁵ in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

²⁰ if any one may say -- `I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

³ for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;
