10 Verses on Loving Others

Almost two weeks ago, I wrote a post sharing 10 Verses on God’s Love and I thought it would be nice to share verses on loving others as well. It can be really hard to love others sometimes, but God has called us ultimately to love him and others above all else.

 

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins – 1 Peter 4:8

 

Do to others as you would have them do to you. – Luke 6:31

 

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:31

 

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. – Ephesians 4:2

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

 

We love because he first loved us – 1 John 4:19

 

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. – Romans 13:8

 

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.  For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?  You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. – Matthew 5:43-48

 

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. – 1 John 3:18

 

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. – Colossians  3:14
