Luke 6:43-44
43 “For a good tree does not bear bad

from a bramble bush.

disciples, if you have love for one
another.
1John 4:12,13

Him, and He in us, because He has
given us of His Spirit.

“Joy is love singing, peace is love resting,
patience is love enduring, kindness is love
sharing, goodness is love’s character,
faithfulness is love’s habit, gentleness is
love’s touch, and self-control is love in
charge.”
1Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does
not envy; love does not parade itself, is
not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own, is not provoked,
thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things.
