Colossians 3:12-17
Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive.Above all, put on love— the perfect bond of unity.And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God.And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

1 Corinthians 13 4-1 Corinthians 13 7
Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited,does not act improperly, is not selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs.Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1 John 4 7-1 John 4 16
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us and His love is perfected in us.This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us: He has given assurance to us from His Spirit.And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent His Son as the world’s Savior.Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God— God remains in him and he in God.And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor.Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord.Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality.Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Try to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone.

Ephesians 4:23-5:2
you are being renewed in the spirit of your minds;you put on the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another.Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger,and don’t give the Devil an opportunity.The thief must no longer steal. Instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need.No foul language is to come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear.And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by Him for the day of redemption.All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice.And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children.And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

Titus 2:2-12
Older men are to be level headed, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love, and endurance.In the same way, older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine. They are to teach what is good,so they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children,to be self-controlled, pure, homemakers, kind, and submissive to their husbands, so that God’s message will not be slandered.In the same way, encourage the young men to be self-controlledin everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity in your teaching.Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.Slaves are to be submissive to their masters in everything, and to be well-pleasing, not talking backor stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in everything.For the grace of God has appeared with salvation for all people,instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous, and godly way in the present age,

who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,and to regard them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are irresponsible, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.Rejoice always!Pray constantly.Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.Don’t stifle the Spirit.Don’t despise prophecies,but test all things. Hold on to what is good.Stay away from every kind of evil.

1 Thessalonians 1 3-1 Thessalonians 1 10
We recall, in the presence of our God and Father, your work of faith, labor of love, and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ,knowing your election, brothers loved by God.For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we were among you for your benefit,and you became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message with joy from the Holy Spirit.As a result, you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.For the Lord’s message rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out. Therefore, we don’t need to say anything,for they themselves report what kind of reception we had from you: how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true Godand to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead— Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
