1 Corinthians 13:4-7
13:4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up.
13:5 It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.
13:6 It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.
13:7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Galatians 5:14-15
5:14 For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment,
namely, “
You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
5:15 However, if you continually bite and devour one another,
beware that you are not consumed
by one another.
Philippians 2:2-3
2:2 complete my joy and be of the same mind,
by having the same love, being united in spirit,
and having one purpose.
2:3 Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition
or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.
James 1:19-20
Living Out the Message
1:19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
1:20 For human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.
James 3:13-18
True Wisdom
3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings.
3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
3:15 Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, natural, demonic.
3:16 For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice.
3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.
3:18 And the fruit that consists of righteousness is planted in peace among those who make peace.
