FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES

 "Therefore, as God's chosen people, Holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect Unity."  

 "Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did."

 "We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands." 

 "If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.  do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than your selves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ." 

 "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."  John 15:12 

 "Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."           

In my opinion, the best definition of love, of all time.  Forget all the self-help books, it all boils down to this one verse which is nearly 2,000 years old!
