[Novus]

1 Timothy 1:5 (NET) parallel with John 14:15 and Romans 13:8-10 (ESV)

• But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 parallel with 1 Corinthians 16:4 (ESV)

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

Let all that you do be done in love.

John 3:14-16 parallel with John 15:13 and Romans 5:8 and 1 John 4:19 (ESV)

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

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

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

We love because he first loved us.

Colossians 3:14 parallel with Proverbs 10:12 (ESV)

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

[Novus]

1 John 4:8 parallel with John 13:34-35 (ESV)

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

It means all about Love: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 NKJV "The Greatest Gift" 

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body ^[to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not ^[b]puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, ^[thinks no evil;  does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;  bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part.  But when that which is ^[d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Ephesians 5:25 parallel with Titus 2:4 and Luke 6:35 Mark 12:33-34 (ESV)

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

and so train the young women to love their husbands and children,

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of ,the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

It's Agape Love indeed!

Sounds connected to my meditation this morning "A Husband Love & A Wife Submission">>> 1Timothy 2:11-12 NKJV

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.  And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
