Matthew 23:37
New King James Version
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
New King James Version
4 (A)Love suffers long and is (B)kind; love (C)does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [a]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, (D)does not seek its own, is not provoked, [b]thinks no evil; 6 (E)does not rejoice in iniquity, but (F)rejoices in the truth; 7 (G)bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 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.

John 15:5-14
New King James Version
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much (A)fruit; for without Me you can do (B)nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, (C)he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words (D)abide in you, (E)you[a] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 (F)By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; (G)so you will be My disciples.
Love and Joy Perfected
9 “As the Father (H)loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 (I)If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and (J)that your joy may be full. 12 (K)This is My (L)commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 (M)Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 (N)You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
