LOVE YOUR BRETHREN

Matthew 22:34-40

34(Z)But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced (AA)the Sadducees, they gathered themselves together.

35One of them, [a](AB)a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him,

36"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"

37And He said to him, " '(AC)YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'

38"This is the great and foremost commandment.

39"The second is like it, '(AD)YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'

40"(AE)On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."


Luke 10: 25-27
25(AE)And a (AF)lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"

27And he answered, "(AG)YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."



Romans 13: 8-10
8Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for (J)he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

9For this, "(K)YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "(L)YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

10Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore (M)love is the fulfillment of the law.


1Corin. 13 : 4-8
4Love (K)is patient, love is kind and (L)is not jealous;

love does not brag and is not (M)arrogant,

5does not act unbecomingly; it (N)does not seek its own, is not provoked, (O)does not take into account a wrong suffered,

6(P)does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but (Q)rejoices with the truth;

7(R)bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never fails; but if there are gifts of (S)prophecy, they will be done away; if there are (T)tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.


1 Thes 4: 9-10
9Now as to the (S)love of the brethren, you (T)have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are (U)taught by God to love one another;

10for indeed (V)you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia But we urge you, brethren, to (W)excel still more,

1 John 3:16-19
16We know love by this, that (AP)He laid down His life for us; and (AQ)we ought to lay down our lives for the (AR)brethren.

17But (AS)whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and (AT)closes his heart against him, (AU)how does the love of God abide in him?

18(AV)Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and (AW)truth.

19We will know by this that we are (AX)of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him

1 John 4: 20 - 5 :3

20(AZ)If someone says, "I love God," and (BA)hates his brother, he is a (BB)liar; for (BC)the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, (BD)cannot love God whom he has not seen.

21And (BE)this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God (BF)should love his brother also.

1(A)Whoever believes that Jesus is the [a]Christ is (B)born of God, and whoever loves the Father (C)loves the child born of Him.

2(D)By this we know that (E)we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

3For (F)this is the love of God, that we (G)keep His commandments; and (H)His commandments are not burdensome.
