Therefore, whenever we
have the opportunity,
we should do good to everyone—
especially to those
in the family of faith.
Galatians 6:10
Let everyone see that
you are considerate in all you do.
Remember, the Lord is coming soon
Philippians 4:5
Dear friends, let us continue
to love one another, for love
comes from God.
Anyone who loves is a child of God
and knows God.
1 John 4:7
“But to you who are willing to listen,
I say, love your enemies!
Do good to those who hate you.
Luke 6:27
In view of all this,
make every effort to respond
to God’s promises.
Supplement your faith with a
generous provision
of moral excellence,
and moral excellence
with knowledge,
and knowledge
with self-control,
and self-control
with patient endurance,
and patient endurance
with godliness,
and godliness
with brotherly affection,
and brotherly affection
with love for everyone.
The more you grow like this,
the more productive and useful
you will be in your knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
But those who fail to
develop in this way
are shortsighted or blind,
forgetting that they have
been cleansed from their old sins.
2 Peter 1:5-9
So don’t boast about following a
particular human leader.
For everything belongs to you
whether Paul or Apollos or Peter,
or the world, or life and death,
or the present and the future.
Everything belongs to you,
and you belong to Christ,
and Christ belongs to God.
1 Corinthians 2:21-23
If someone says, “I love God,”
but hates a fellow believer,
that person is a liar;
for if we don’t love people
we can see, how can we love God,
whom we cannot see?
1 John 4:20
Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or
boastful or proud
or rude. It does not demand
its own way. It is not irritable,
and it keeps no record of
being wronged.
It does not rejoice about injustice
but rejoices whenever
the truth wins out.
Love never gives up,
never loses faith,
is always hopeful,
and endures through
every circumstance.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
I appeal to you,
dear brothers and sisters,
by the authority of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
to live in harmony
with each other.
Let there be no divisions
in the church.
Rather, be of one mind,
united in thought and purpose.
1 Corinthians 1:10
For you are still controlled
by your sinful nature.
You are jealous of one another and
quarrel with each other.
Doesn’t that prove you are controlled
by your sinful nature?
Aren’t you living like
people of the world?
When one of you says,
“I am a follower of Paul,”
and another says,
“I follow Apollos,”
aren’t you acting
just like people of the world?
After all, who is Apollos?
Who is Paul?
We are only God’s servants through
whom you believed the Good News.
Each of us did the work
the Lord gave us.
I planted the seed in your hearts,
and Apollos watered it,
but it was God who made it grow.
It’s not important
who does the planting,
or who does the watering.
What’s important is that
God makes the seed grow.
The one who plants
and the one who waters
work together with the same purpose.
And both will be rewarded
for their own hard work.
For we are both God’s workers.
And you are God’s field.
You are God’s building.
Because of God’s grace to me,
I have laid the foundation like
an expert builder.
Now others are building on it.
But whoever is building on
this foundation must
be very careful.
For no one can lay any foundation other
than the one we
already have—Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:3-11
Three things will last forever—
faith, hope, and love—
and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
Dear friends, let us continue to
love one another,
for love comes from God.
Anyone who loves is a child of God
and knows God.
1 John 4:7
Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace,
and work to maintain it.
Psalms 34:14
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith.
Be courageous. Be strong.
And do everything with love.
1 Corinthians 16: 13-14
Don’t worry about the wicked
or envy those who do wrong.
For like grass,
they soon fade away.
Like spring flowers,
they soon wither.
Trust in the Lord
and do good.
Then you will live safely
in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you
your heart’s desires.
Commit everything you do
to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence
radiate like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause will
shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people
who prosper or fret
about their wicked schemes.
Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
it only leads to harm.
For the wicked will be destroyed,
but those who trust in the Lord
will possess the land.
Psalms 37:1-9
Make it your goal to live a quiet life,
minding your own business
and working with your hands,
just as we instructed you before.
Then people who are not believers
will respect the way you live,
and you will not need
to depend on others.
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
Don’t just pretend to love others.
Really love them.
Hate what is wrong.
Hold tightly to what is good.
Love each other with genuine affection,
and take delight in honoring each other.
Never be lazy, but work hard and
serve the Lord enthusiastically.
Rejoice in our confident hope.
Be patient in trouble,
and keep on praying.
When God’s people are in need,
be ready to help them.
Always be eager to practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you.
Don’t curse them;
pray that God will bless them.
Be happy with those who are happy,
and weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with each other.
Don’t be too proud to enjoy
the company of ordinary people.
And don’t think you know it all!
Never pay back evil with more evil.
Do things in such a way
that everyone can see
you are honorable.
Do all that you can to
live in peace with everyone.
Dear friends, never take revenge.
Leave that to
the righteous anger of God.
For the Scriptures say,
“I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,” says the Lord.
Instead,
“If your enemies are
hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them
something to drink.
In doing this,
you will heap
burning coals
of shame on their heads.”
Don’t let evil conquer you,
but conquer evil by doing good.
Romans 12:9-21
But when you ask him,
be sure that your faith
is in God alone.
Do not waver, for a person
with divided loyalty is
as unsettled as a wave
of the sea that is
blown and tossed by the wind.
Such people should not
expect to receive
anything from the Lord.
Their loyalty is divided between
God and the world,
and they are unstable
in everything they do.
James 1:6-8
So, my dear brothers and sisters,
be strong and immovable.
Always work enthusiastically
for the Lord,
for you know that nothing you do
for the Lord is ever useless.
1 Cor 15:58
So now I am giving you
a new commandment:
Love each other.
Just as I have loved you,
you should love each other.
John 13:34
