Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5

keeps no record of being wronged.

It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever The Truth
wins out.

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and
endures through every circumstance.
Discourtesy:

Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.
25
The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves
be refreshed.

People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the one who
sells in time of need.

evil, it will find you!

12:10 NLT
The
Godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel.
Isaiah
61:1 KJV

Spirit Of The Lord God is upon Me; because The Lord hath anointed Me
to preach Good Tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening
of the prison to them that are bound;
Matthew
6:12 KJV
And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Matthew
7:12-20 KJV
12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them: for this is The Law And The Prophets.
13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
thereat:
14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it.
15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
17
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.
20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the
blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luke

But
love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing
again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children
of The Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

1
When the time came, we set sail for Italy. Paul and several other
prisoners were placed in the custody of a Roman officer[a] named
Julius, a captain of the Imperial Regiment.
2
Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was also with us. We
left on a ship whose home port was Adramyttium on the northwest coast
of the province of Asia; it was scheduled to make several stops at
ports along the coast of the province.

The next day when we docked at Sidon, Julius was very kind to Paul
and let him go ashore to visit with friends so they could provide for
his needs.

while we were still sinners.

Love
each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each
other.

15:1-6,33 NLT
1
We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive
about things like this. We must not just please ourselves.
2
We should help others do what is right and build them up in The Lord.
3
For even Christ didn’t live to please Himself. As the Scriptures
say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on
me.”
4
Such things were written in The Scriptures long ago to teach us. And
The Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently
for God’s promises to be fulfilled.
5
May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in
complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of
Christ Jesus.
6
Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and
glory to God, The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
33
And now may God, who gives us His peace, be with you all. Amen.
Galatians
5:14 KJV
For
all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.
Ephesians
4:29,32 NLT
29
Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good
and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who
hear them.
32
"...be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Colossians
4:6 NLT
Let
your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have
the right response for everyone.
I
Thessalonians 5:15 NLT
See
that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to
each other and to all people.
Titus
3:2 KJV
To
speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all
meekness unto all men.
I
Peter 5:5 NLT
In
the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the
elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to
one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the
humble.”
The
Word, Discourtesy:
Proverbs
18:23 NLT
The
poor plead for mercy; the rich answer with insults.
Luke
7:44 NLT
Then
He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Look at this woman
kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer Me water
to wash the dust from My feet, but she has washed them with her tears
and wiped them with her hair.
Luke
10:40 NLT
But
Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came
to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my
sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and
help me.”
John
4:9 NLT
The
woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with
Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan
woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”
Prayer:

15:12 KJV

is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
