Love
          1 Let everything be done in love; 2 for love is of
          God,  and  everyone  who  loves  is  born  of  God

          and knows God. He who loves not, knows not
          God, for God is love. There is no fear in love,
          but perfect love casts out fear because fear has
          torment. He who fears is not perfect in love.


          We  love,  because  he  first  loved  us.  If  a  man
          says,  I  love  God  and  hate  his  brother,  he  is  a
          liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he
          has seen, how can he love God whom he has
          not seen? And these commandments have we
          from  him,  that  he  who  loves  God  loves  his
          brother also.


          3 Jesus said: You shall love the Lord your God
          with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
          with all your mind. This is the first and greatest
          commandment. The second is like it: You shall
          love  your  neighbor  as  yourself.  On  these  two
          commandments are all the law and prophets.

          4 Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not;

          love boasts not itself, and is not puffed up, does
          not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own,
