    "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:39)

    "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34)

    "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." (John 15:13)

    "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:23-24)

    "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." (Matthew 5:7)

    "Do to others as you would have them do to you." (Luke 6:31)

    "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
