Luke 6:38-42

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye give [to others], it shall be measured to you again.

And he spoke a parable to them; Can the blind lead the blind? will they not both fall into the ditch?

The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect, shall be as his master.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

First John 4:8-21

He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

And we have seen and do testify, that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Savior of the world.

Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love: and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth, is not made perfect in love.

We love him, because he first loved us.

If a man sayeth, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God, love his brother also.


From Noah Webster's translation of the Bible, 1833
