18 “‘You must not take vengeance+ nor have a grudge against the sons of your people;+ and you must love your fellow as yourself.+ I am Jehovah.

31 The second is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’+ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

27 In answer he said: “‘You must love Jehovah* your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul* and with your whole strength and with your whole mind,’+ and, ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”+

14 But, besides all these things, [clothe yourselves with] love,+ for it is a perfect bond+ of union.*

8 If, now, YOU practice carrying out the kingly law+ according to the scripture: “You must love your neighbor as yourself,”+ YOU are doing quite well.

22 Now that YOU have purified+ YOUR souls* by [YOUR] obedience to the truth with unhypocritical brotherly affection+ as the result, love one another intensely* from the heart.+
