ἀγάπη

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
