Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
