That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ:

A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Let all your things be done with love.

And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

But concerning brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

Let no man despise your youth; but be an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall cover a multitude of sins.

For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

If a man says, I love God, and hates 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 this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God love his brother also.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

And that he died for all, that they who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be rich.

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God our Father:

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Who gave himself a ransom for all, this to be a testimony at the proper time.

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own, zealous of good works.

Therefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.

Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the age has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

And every priest stands daily ministering and offering frequently the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

For even to this were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:

By this perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loves us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

And they sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

And the LORD smelled a sweet odor; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.

But its entrails and its legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma unto the LORD.

But he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma unto the LORD.

And he shall split it with the wings, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma unto the LORD.

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet aroma: all the fat is the LORD'S.

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not take delight in your solemn assemblies.

For we are unto God a sweet fragrance of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
