1 John 4:16
If I speak in tongues of men or of angels but have not LOVE I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith to move mountains, but do not have LOVE, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have LOVE, I gain nothing.
LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. LOVE does not envy, LOVE does not boast, LOVE is not proud.
LOVE does not dishonor others, LOVE is not self-seeking, LOVE is not easily angered, LOVE keeps no records of wrongs.
LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoices with The Truth.
LOVE always protects, LOVE always trusts, LOVE always hopes, LOVE 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 13:1-8
For GOD so LOVED the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whosoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish but HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
John 3:16
JESUS answered, “ I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through ME.”
John 14:6-7
JESUS replied, “Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will LOVE them and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not LOVE Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to The Father who sent Me. All this I have spoken while still with you. But THE ADVOCATE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, whom THE FATHER will send in MY NAME, WILL TEACH you all things and WILL REMIND you of everything I have said to you. PEACE I leave with you; MY PEACE I give you. I DO NOT GIVE TO YOU AS THE WORLD GIVES. DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED AND DO NOT BE AFRAID.
John 14:23-27
