Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean. I have given you an example, so that you may do what I have done to you.

And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common.

Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is wide.

Let your hearts be open to us: we have done no man wrong, no man has been damaged by us, we have made no profit out of any man, It is not with the purpose of judging you that I say this: for I have said before that you are in our hearts for life and death together.

For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church;

But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.
