Actually this is a second part of the Post.

What else is Love consists of? Love your neighbor.


Leviticus 19.18.34
18."You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
34.The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you, you shall love the alien as yourself, you were aliens in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord, your GOD."

Love your neighbor, alien, stranger, and love one another: (Leviticus 19.18.34) (Deuteronomy 10.19) (Proverbs 25..21-22) (Matthew 5.43-44, 19.19, 22.39) (Mark 12.31.33) (Luke 10.27-28) (John 13.34, 15.12-13) (Romans 13.9-10) (Galatians 5.14) (James 2.8) (1John 3.10-11, 4.7-8.11.21) (2John 1.5).


Love the stranger and the poor and do Charity to them.

Deuteronomy 10.18
18.Who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and Who loves the strangers, providing them food and clothing.


Shall we love those who hate us?

Matthew 5.44-46
44.But I say to you, love your enemies (2Kings 6.18-23) (2Chronicles 28.9-15) (Proverbs 25.21-22) (Matthew 5.43-45) (Luke 6.27-28.35-36) (Romans 12.20-21) and pray for those who persecute you, (Luke 23.34)
45.so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven, He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. (Matthew 5.45) (Luke 6.35) (Proverbs of Solomon 29.13)

46.If you love those who love you what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collector do the same?"


Luke 6.35
35.But love your enemies, do good, and lend expecting nothing in return (Deuteronomy 15.1-3.9, 23.19-20). Your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, He is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked." (Matthew 5.45) (Luke 6.35) (Proverbs of Solomon 29.13)


Proof of Love.

Matthew 10.37-38
37."Whoever loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

38.And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." (Matthew 10.37-38, 16.24) (Mark 8.34) (Luke 9.23, 14.26-27.33)


One who loves fulfilled the Law.

Romans 13.8.10
8.Owe no one anything except to love one another, the one who loves another has fulfilled the Law. (Romans 13.8) (Galatians 5.14.22-23)

10.Love does no wrong to a neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

Galatians 5.14.22-23
14.The whole Law is summed up in a single Commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Romans 13.8) (Galatians 5.14.22-23)

22.By contrast the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,

23.gentleness, self-control, against such things there is no Law. (Romans 13.8) (Galatians 5.14.22-23)


What else can be said about Love?

1Peter 2.17
17.Honor everyone. Love the family of believers. Fear GOD. Honor the emperor.


The Love of GOD in a person rise him/her to a certain level of Perfection.

1John 2.5.10.15
5.but whoever obeys His Word, truly in this person the love of GOD has reached Perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in Him,

1John 4.17
17.Love has been Perfected among us in this that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as He is, so are we in this world.


Love also revealed itself in good Charitable Works of Faith.

17.How does GOD’S love abide in anyone who has world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need, and yet refuses help?

18.Little children, let us love not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

Psalm of David 62.12

12.and steadfast love belongs to You O Lord. You repay to all, according to their Work.
