"Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.."

      Leviticus 19:18

"On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"..."Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and Love your neighbor as yourself." 

      Luke 10: 25, 27

"The commandments, "Do not commit adultry," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule:  "Love your neighbor as yourself."  Love does no harm to its neighbor.  Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. 

      Romans 13: 9-10

"Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 

     1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
