    Scripture

    Mark 12:30-31, NIRV

    Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your mind and with all your strength. And here is the second one: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. There is no commandment more important than these.

    1 Corinthians 12:26, NIV

    If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

    John 3:16, NIV

    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    1 John 4:20-21, MSG

    If anyone boasts, “I love God,” and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won’t love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can’t see? The command we have from Christ is blunt: Loving God includes loving people. You’ve got to love both.

    1 John 4:20-21, NIRV

    Suppose someone claims to love God but hates a brother or sister. Then they are a liar. They don’t love their brother or sister, whom they have seen. So they can’t love God, whom they haven’t seen. Here is the command God has given us. Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
