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

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil.

The Father loves the Son and has entrusted all things to His hand.

For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I came forth from God and am here; for I have not even come on My own, but He sent Me.

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it back.

So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

(Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.)

So the Jews were saying, “See how He loved him!”

The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

for they loved the approval of people rather than the approval of God.

The Lord’s Supper

Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour had come that He would depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

Lying back on Jesus’ chest was one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also 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.

The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will follow My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

The one who does not love Me does not follow My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let’s go from here.

Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; remain in My love.

If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

Disciples’ Relation to Each Other

“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
