16So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "Yahweh will require it at the hand of David's enemies." 17Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
17He said to him, "Don't be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows." 18They both made a covenant before Yahweh: and David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house.
Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. 3If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing. 4Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, 5doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. 11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. 12For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known. 13But now faith, hope, and love remain--these three. The greatest of these is love.
Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,
But now faith, hope, and love remain--these three. The greatest of these is love.
He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
We love him, because he first loved us.
