John 13:34-35

34“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one

another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have

love for one another.”

1 John 3:10-23

10In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest:

Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 11For

this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one

another,

1 John 3:10-2316By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts

up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18My little

children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

1 Peter 1:22,23

22Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

23having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible,

through the word of God which lives and abides forever,

Colossians 2:1,21For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in

Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, 2that their

hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all

riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the

mystery of God,

1 Cor. 12:21-27

21And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have

no need of you.” 22No, much rather, those members of the body

which seem to be weaker are necessary.

1 Cor. 12:21-27 24But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which

lacks it, 25that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one

another. 26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one

member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

1 Cor. 12:21-27

27Now you are the body of Christ, and

members individually.

Eph. 4:12,16 12for the equipping of the saints for the

work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

16from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective

working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for

the edifying of itself in love.

1 Thessalonians 1:2

We give thanks to God always for you all, making

mention of you in our prayers,

1 Corinthians 1:14

14I thank God that I baptized none of you

except Crispus and Gaius, 15lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my

own name.

1 Thes 5:12,13

12And we urge you, brethren, to

recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord

and admonish you, 13and to esteem them very highly in love

for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

2 Corinthians 12:15

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

Hebrews 13:17

17Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who

must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for

you.

3 John 9

9I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to

have the preeminence among them, does not

receive us.

19Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify

another.

1I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2with all lowliness and gentleness,

with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of

peace.

James 3:17,18

17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and

without hypocrisy. 18Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by

those who make peace. (Cf. Matthew 5:9)

Galatians 5:15

15But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be

consumed by one another!

Romans 12:9-13

10Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving

preference to one another; 11not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12rejoicing in hope,

patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13distributing to

the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

1 Peter 4:8

8And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will

cover a multitude of sins.” 9Be hospitable to one another without

grumbling. 10As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as

good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

3 John 5-8

5Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers, 6who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,

7because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8We

therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.

Acts 2:44-46

Cf. Acts 11:27-30

44Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45and

sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had

need. 46So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate

their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

Romans 12:10

1 Peter 3:8 8Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another;

love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

10Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving

preference to one another;

24A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who

sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24

Galatians 6:1,2 1Brethren, if a man is overtaken

in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering

yourself lest you also be tempted. 2Bear one another’s burdens, and

so fulfill the law of Christ.

2 Timothy 2:24-26 24And a servant of the Lord must not

quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps

will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26and that they may

come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive

by him to do his will.

Ephesians 4:2,32

against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
