13:15

I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

"Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'?

17:9

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

4:12

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

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
