Love does no wrong

SAM,

13:10
10
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of [the]
law.
If
we’re in love, we do no wrong, if we do wrong, we’re not in love.
Our
fight is not with flesh and blood, or in other words, people. We are to fight the good fight against the
devil and all his demons. We are to love
people, no matter
Eph
6:10-19
10
¶ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;
19
¶ And for me, that utterance may be
given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of
the gospel,
Love
does for the other person regardless of whether or not it will benefit them.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Amplified
4. Love endures
long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with
jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily
5. It is not conceited (arrogant and
inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act
unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its
own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful;
it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered
wrong].
6. It does not
rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth
prevail
7. Love bears
up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best
of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures
everything [without weakening]. 8. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes
obsolete or comes to an end].
We
owe every man to love him.
Ro
13:8-10
8
Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor
has fulfilled [the] law.
9 For this, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET,"
and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying,
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore
love is the fulfillment of the law.
We
can’t do these things in ourselves, we must do them in the Love of God. Fortunately, He’s given us His love.
Ro
5:5
and
hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within
our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Who is my neighbor
Lu 10:25-37
25 ¶ And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test,
saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
26 And He said
to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"
27 And he
answered, "YOU SHALL 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 YOUR
NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
28 And He said
to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE."
29 But wishing
to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30 Jesus
replied and said, "A man was going down from
31 "And by
chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by
on the other side.
32
"Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him,
passed by on the other side.
33 "But a
Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt
compassion,
34 and came to
him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on
his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
35 "On the
next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take
care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’
36 "Which
of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into
the robbers’ hands?"
37 And he said,
"The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him,
"Go and do the same."
Joh
"This
is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone
who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not
love his brother.
11
¶ For this is the message which you have
heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew
his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil,
and his brother’s were righteous.
13 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world
hates you.
14
¶ We know that we have passed out of
death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in
death.
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer;
and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 We know love by this, that He laid down His
life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees
his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God
abide in him?
18 Little children, let us not love with word or
with tongue, but in deed and truth.
