Love

His Words on Love

LOVE is complete giving with no thought of self,
but only a desire to please the loved one.

From
Matthew

5:43-46
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt Love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye Love them which Love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same?

6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and Love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

19:19
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt Love thy neighbour as thyself.

22:37-39
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt Love thy neighbour as thyself.

24:12
And because iniquity shall abound, the Love of many shall wax cold.

From
Mark

12:30-31
And thou shalt Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt Love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

From
Luke

6:27-35
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye Love them which Love you, what thank have ye? For sinners also Love those that Love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? For sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But Love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

7:41-43
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will Love him most?
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him,
Thou hast rightly judged.

11:42
But woe unto you, Pharisees! For ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the Love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

16:13
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and Love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

From
John

5:42-43
But I know you, that ye have not the Love of God in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

8:42
Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father, ye would Love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

10:17
Therefore doth my Father Love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

13:34-35
A new commandment I give unto you, that ye Love one another; as I have Loved you, that ye also Love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have Love one to another.

14:15
If ye Love me, keep my commandments.

14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that Loveth me: and he that Loveth me shall be Loved of my Father, and I will Love him, and will manifest myself to him.

14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man Love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will Love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

14:31
But that the world may know that I Love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

15:9-10
As the Father hath Loved me, so have I Loved you: continue ye in my Love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my Love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his Love.

15:12-13
This is my commandment, that ye Love one another, as I have Loved you. Greater Love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

15:17
These things I command you, that ye Love one another.

15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would Love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

17:26
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the Love wherewith thou hast Loved me may be in them, and I in them.

21:15-17
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou me more than these?
He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I Love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my lambs.
He saith to him again the second time,
Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou me?
He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I Love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
He saith unto him the third time,
Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou me?
Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time,
Lovest thou me?
And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
