John 13:34 NIV

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

 John 15:12–13 NIV

“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”

 John 15:17 NIV

“This is my command: Love each other.”

1 John 3:23 NIV

“And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.”

 1 John 4:7–8 NIV

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

 1 John 4:21 NIV

“And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.”

 1 Pet 4:8 NIV

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”

 1 Corinthians 13 NIV

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am NOTHING. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain NOTHING. …Love never fails. …And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

 Colossians 3:14 NIV

“And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”

 Galatians 5:13–14 NIV

“…Serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
