You Loved Me
You Cannot know God and know experience His everlasting
Lovingkindness.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does
not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Do everything in love.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them
all together in perfect unity.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives
in love lives in God, and God in them.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with
one another in love.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers
over a multitude of sins.
We love because He first loved us.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen
you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell
in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established
in love.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is
good.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am
nothing.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church
and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with
water through the word.
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above
yourselves.
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his
love is made complete in us.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever
does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God,
whom they have not seen.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the
greatest of these is love.
