This is the first and great commandment. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love never fails.
And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
