Lack of Love

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing.

He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.

And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.

By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.
