We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all God's people.

For I hear of your love for all of God's people and the faith you have in the Lord Jesus.

For when we are in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the lack of it makes any difference at all; what matters is faith that works through love.

For we remember before our God and Father how you put your faith into practice, how your love made you work so hard, and how your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ is firm.

Our friends, we must thank God at all times for you. It is right for us to do so, because your faith is growing so much and the love each of you has for the others is becoming greater.

The purpose of this order is to arouse the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a genuine faith.

And our Lord poured out his abundant grace on me and gave me the faith and love which are ours in union with Christ Jesus.

How excellent are the LORD's faithful people! My greatest pleasure is to be with them.

For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all God's people.

There is no need to write you about love for each other. You yourselves have been taught by God how you should love one another.

God is not unfair. He will not forget the work you did or the love you showed for him in the help you gave and are still giving to other Christians.

Now that by your obedience to the truth you have purified yourselves and have come to have a sincere love for other believers, love one another earnestly with all your heart.

If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God?

The command that Christ has given us is this: whoever loves God must love others also.
