Ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another . Love they neighbor as thyself . For God so loved 

the world that he gave his only begotten Son . If ye love me, keep my commandments . And faith,

hope, charity, and love... qualify him for the work . If a man love God, the same is known of him .

Love your enemies . He that loveth his life shall lose it . And I am filled with charity, which is

everlasting love . Teach them to love one another . Love God with all your might, mind, and strength . Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
