You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate

your enemy. ' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those
who persecute you. (Matthew, 5: 43-44)

And live a life of love, just as Christ loved us... (Ephesians, 5:2)

"If you love me, you will obey what I command [for God's sake].
Whoever has my commands [for God's sake] and obeys them, he is
the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by God,
and I too will love him..." (John, 14:15, 21)

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. God
will love him... He who does not love me will not obey my teach-
ing. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to God
Who sent me." (John, 14:23-24)

This is my command: Love each other. (John, 15:17)

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no

mind has conceived what God has prepared [in the life of the
hereafter] for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians, 2:9)
... "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Galatians, 5:14)

[Jesus:] "As God has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain
in my love. If you obey my commands [for God's sake], you will re-
main in my love, just as I have obeyed God's commands and re-
main in His love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you
and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each
other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that

he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do

what I command. (John, 15:9-14)
