your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. (All)
NAS 1 Peter 5:14 Greet one another with a
kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ. (“Greet one another with a
kiss of love”)
NAS 2 Peter 1:7 and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
NAS 1 John 2:5 but whoever keeps His word,
in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in
Him: (“whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been
perfected”)
15 Do not love the world,
nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father
is not in him. (All) (“Do not love the world”)
NAS 1 John 3:1 See how great a love the
Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason
the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. (All)
10 By this the children
of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice
righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
11 For this is the
message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one
another; (“we should love one another”)
14 We know that we have
passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not
love abides in death. (All)
16 We know love by this,
that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren. (Jesus, love, laid down life.) (Ought: Lay down life for brethren.)
17 But whoever has the
world's goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against
him, how does the love of God abide in him? (All)
18 Little children, let
us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and
truth. (All)
23 And this is His
commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one
another, just as He commanded us. (Commandment: love one another.)
NAS 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one
another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows
God. (All)
8 The one who does not
love does not know God, for God is love. (All)
9 By this the love of God
was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so
that we might live through Him. (All) (Love, God, manifested, Son, live.)
10 In this is love, not
that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (All) (Love, God, Son,
propitiation, sins.)
11 Beloved, if God so
loved us, we also ought to love one another. (“we also ought to love one
another”)
12 No one has beheld God
at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is
perfected in us. (“love one another” … “His love is perfected in us”)
16 And we have come to
know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one
who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. (God, love, abides.)
17 By this, love is
perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because
as He is, so also are we in this world. (Love, perfected, confidence,
judgement.)
18 There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and
the one who fears is not perfected in love. (Love, fear, punishment,
perfected.)
19 We love, because He
first loved us. (All)
20 If someone says,
"I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who
does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not
seen. (‘If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a
liar’)
21 And this commandment
we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
(All)
NAS 1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love
the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. (All)
3 For this is the love of
God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
(Love, God, keep commandments.)
NAS 2 John 1:1 The elder to the chosen lady
and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know
the truth, (Love and truth)
3 Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the
Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. (Jesus
Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.)
5 And now I ask you,
lady, not as writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had
from the beginning, that we love one another. (Commandment: love one another.)
6 And this is love, that
we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you
have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. (“And this is love,
that we walk according to His commandments”)
NAS 3 John 1:1 The elder to the beloved
Gaius, whom I love in truth. (All)
6 and they bear witness
to your love before the church; and you will do well to send them on their way
in a manner worthy of God.
NAS Jude 1:2 May mercy and peace and love
be multiplied to you. (Love multiplied)
12 These men are those
who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear,
caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn
trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted;
21 keep yourselves in the
love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to
eternal life. (“keep yourselves in the love of God”)
NAS Revelation 2:4 'But I have this against you, that you have left
your first love. (All)
19 'I know your deeds,
and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of
late are greater than at first. (Deeds, love, faith, service, perserverance.)
NAS Revelation 3:19 'Those whom I love, I
reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore, and repent. (Divine love and
reproof.)
NAS Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him
because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their life even to death. (“they did not love their life
even to death”)
