Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

John 17 …

1 John 4:7-8 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.

9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Romans 5:8 …while we were sinners Christ died for us …

1 John 4:11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

17 … In this world we are like Jesus.

19 … We love because he first loved us.

20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

21 He has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Galatians 5:6 The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Galatians 5:22 The fruit of the Spirit is love …

Matthew 5:21-26 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.

… Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court.

v22 con’t…And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,

24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court.

“God is so concerned that we be reconciled with each other, that he puts the burden of it on both the offender and the offendee”

25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

John 17:11 Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
