Do everything in love.
-
Colossians 3:14
Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

1 Corinthians 13 1-1 Corinthians 13 8
If I speak human or angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant,is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs.Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

1 John 4 7-1 John 4 18
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him.Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us and his love is made complete in us.This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent his Son as the world’s Savior.Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God— God remains in him and he in God.And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because as he is, so also are we in this world.There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love.

Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope:Because of the LORD’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end.They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!I say,“ The LORD is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in him.”The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the person who seeks him.It is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD.

Galatians 5:13-22
For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh.For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity,idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I am warning you about these things— as I warned you before— that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

1 John 5 1-1 John 5 5
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him.This is how we know that we love God’s children: when we love God and obey his commands.For this is what love for God is: to keep his commands. And his commands are not a burden,because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.Who is the one who conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy.

Hebrews 10:39-11:7
But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.For by this our ancestors were approved.By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith.By faith Enoch was taken away, and so he did not experience death. He was not to be found because God took him away. For before he was taken away, he was approved as one who pleased God.Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.By faith Noah, after he was warned about what was not yet seen and motivated by godly fear, built an ark to deliver his family. By faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
