“Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD… But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.” -Leviticus 19:18, 34
“Hear, O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim, YHVH is Unity; and thou shalt love YHVH thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” -Deuteronomy 6:4-5
“Ye have heard that it hath been said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” -Matthew 5:43-48 (see 3 Nephi 5:89-92 RAV, 12:43-48 OPV)
“Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness, that we
may know that it is by his grace and his great condescensions unto the
children of men that we have power to do these things.” -Jacob 3:8 RAV, 4:7 OPV
“And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind; yea, men, and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters; and thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in no wise inherit the kingdom of God.” -Alma 11:187-188 RAV, 27:25-25 OPV
