Do not even the publicans the same?” 2. Matthew 6:5 “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love (phileo) to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth (agapao) me: and he that loveth (agapao) me shall be loved (agapao) of my Father, and I will love (agapao) him, and will manifest myself to him. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love (agapao) me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love (agapao) him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth (agapao) me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved (agapao) me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. But that the world may know that I love (agapao) the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.” 31.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love (agape); even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love (agape). This is my commandment, That ye love (agapao) one another, as I have loved (agapao) you. Greater love (agape) hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. These things I command you, that ye love (agapao) one another.” 32. John 15:19 “If ye were of the world, the world would love (phileo) his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” 33.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst (agapao) me before the foundation of the world. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it; that the love (agape) wherewith thou hast loved (agapao) me may be in them, and I in them.” 35. John 19:26 “When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved (agapao), he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!” 36. John 20:2 “Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus (phileo) loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.” 37.

So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest (agapao) thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love (phileo) thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith unto him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest (agapao)thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love (phileo) thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest (phileo) thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest (phileo) thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love (phileo) thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Then Peter, turning about seeing the the disciple whom Jesus loved (agapao) following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?” 38. Romans 5:5, 8 “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love (agape) of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 41.

101. I John 2:5, 10, 15 “But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love (agape) of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that loveth (agapao) his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. Love (agapao) not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love (agapao) the world, the love (agape) of the Father is not in him.” 102. I John 3:1, 10-11, 14, 16-18, 23
103. I John 4:7-10, 12, 16-18 “Beloved, let us love (agapao) one another: for love (agape) is of God; and every one that loveth (agape) is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth (agapao) not knoweth not God; for God is love (agape). In this is manifested the love (agape) of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love (agape), not that we loved (agapao) God, but that he loved (agape) us; and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved (agapao) us, we ought also to love (agapao) one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love (agapao) one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love (agape) is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath give us of his Spirit. And we have known and believed the love (agape) that God hath to us. God is love (agape); and he that dwelleth in love (agape) dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love (agape) 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 (agape); but perfect love (agape) casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love (agape). We love (agapao) him because He first loved (agapao) us. If a man say, I love (agapao) God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth (agapao) not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love (agapao) God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth (agapao) God love (agapapo) his brother also.” 104. II John 1, 5 “The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love (agapao) in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love (agapao) one another.” 105. II John 3, 6 “Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love (agape). And this is love (agape), that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.” 106. III John 1 “The elder unto the well beloved Gaius, whom I love (agapao) in the truth.” 107. III John 9 “I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth (philoproteuo) to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.” 108. Jude 2, 21 “Mercy unto you, and peace, and love (agape), be multiplied. Keep yourselves in the love (agape) of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” 109.

Unto him that loved (agapao) us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” 110. Revelation 2:4 “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love (agape).” 111. Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved (agapao) thee.” 112. Revelation 3:19 “As many as I love (phileo), I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” 113. Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved (agapao) not their lives unto the death.” 114. Revelation 22:15 “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whore mongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth (phileo) and make a lie.” |
