ETERNAL FOUNDATIONAL BIBLICAL UNIVERSAL BEHAVIOR
One law and one ordinance shall be for you [ISRAELITES], and for the stranger that sojourneth with you [Israelites]. Numbers 15:16 ASV
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that
sojourneth with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so
shall the sojourner be before Jehovah. Numbers 15:15 ASV
Agape (divine
love) towards
one another
must be the
foundation of
our behaviour as
disciples of Jesus
(34) A new commandment I give
unto you, that ye love one
another; even as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another. (35)
By this shall all men know that ye
are my disciples, if ye have love
one to another. John 13:34-35 ASV
(12) This is my commandment,
that ye love one another, even as I
have loved you. (13) Greater love
hath no man than this, that a man
lay down his life for his friends.
(14) Ye are my friends, if ye do the
things which I command you. John
15:12-14 ASV
(1) Brethren, even if a man be
overtaken in any trespass, ye who
are spiritual, restore such a one in
a spirit of gentleness; looking to
thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
(2) Bear ye one another's
burdens, and so fulfil the law of
Christ. (3) For if a man thinketh
himself to be something when he
is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Galatians 6:1-3 ASV
These things I command you, that
ye may love one another. John
15:17 ASV
above all things being fervent in
your love among yourselves; for
love covereth a multitude of sins:
1 Peter 4:8 ASV
(19) My brethren, if any among
you err from the truth, and one
convert him; (20) let him know,
that he who converteth a sinner
from the error of his way shall
save a soul from death, and shall
cover a multitude of sins. James
5:19-20 ASV
Take heed to thyself, and to thy
teaching. Continue in these
things; for in doing this thou shalt
save both thyself and them that
hear thee. 1 Timothy 4:16 ASV
He that covereth a transgression
seeketh love; But he that harpeth
on a matter separateth chief
friends. Proverbs 17:9 ASV
(8) Again, a new commandment
write I unto you, which thing is
true in him and in you; because
the darkness is passing away, and
the true light already shineth. (9)
He that saith he is in the light and
hateth his brother, is in the
darkness even until now. (10) He
that loveth his brother abideth in
the light, and there is no occasion
of stumbling in him. (11) But he
that hateth his brother is in the
darkness, and walketh in the
darkness, and knoweth not
whither he goeth, because the
darkness hath blinded his eyes.
1 John 2:8-11 ASV
If I speak with the
tongues of men and of
angels, but have not
love, I am become
sounding brass, or a
clanging cymbal.
(2) And if I have the gift of
prophecy, and know all mysteries
and all knowledge; and if I have all
faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
(3) And if I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and if I give my
body to be burned, but have not
love, it profiteth me nothing. (4)
Love suffereth long, and is kind;
love envieth not; love vaunteth
not itself, is not puffed up, (5)
doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not its own, is not
provoked, taketh not account of
evil; (6) rejoiceth not in
unrighteousness, but rejoiceth
with the truth; (7) beareth all
things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all
things. (8) Love never faileth: but
whether there be prophecies, they
shall be done away; whether
there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge, it
shall be done away. 1 Corinthians
13:1-8 ASV
(11) For this is the message which
ye heard from the beginning, that
we should love one another: (12)
not as Cain was of the evil one,
and slew his brother. And
wherefore slew he him? Because
his works were evil, and his
brother's righteous. (13) Marvel
not, brethren, if the world hateth
you. (14) We know that we have
passed out of death into life,
because we love the brethren. He
that loveth not abideth in death.
John 3:11-14 ASV
The wealthy who does share his wealth
with the needy does not have the love
of God in him.
(17) But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up
his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? (18) My little children, let us
not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth. (19) Hereby shall we know
that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: (20) because if our heart
condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. (21) Beloved, if our heart
condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; (22) and whatsoever we ask we receive of
him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. (23)
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and
love one another, even as he gave us commandment. (24) And he that keepeth his
commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by
the Spirit which he gave us. 1 John 3:17-24 ASV
hatred between brothers is murder
(15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in
him. (16) Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren. 1 John 3:15-16 ASV
AGAPE LOVE COVERS A LOT OF SINS
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she
loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. Luke 7:47
