But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect

me. Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness

and peace kiss each other. You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding

in love to all who call to you. Let love and faithfulness never leave you;

bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again.

If you love me, you will obey what I command. But God demonstrates his own love for us in

this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore

all died. Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers

over all wrongs. Those who love their children care enough

to discipline them. A bowl of vegetables with someone you love

is better than steak with someone you hate. Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but

dwelling on it separates close friends. A friend loves at all times, and a brother

is born for adversity. Greater love has no one than this, that he

lay down his life for his friends. Above all, love each other deeply, because

love covers over a multitude of sins. Do everything in love.
