Love edifies others in the word of God (Eph 4:16); This is how we are to serve one another (Gal 5:13); We can do this after we have waited on the Spirit for this righteous and loving ability (Gal 5:5-6); Love speaks the truth so that others may grow up. (Eph 4:15) God wants our love to abound more, and more in (godly) knowledge and in all (righteous) judgment (Phil 1:9).

Let us follow after this love (1Tim 6:11); Love provokes others to do this good work (Heb 10:24); Let this brotherly/sisterly love continue (Heb 13:1); Therefore love has nothing to do with giving stuff away. (1Cor 13:1-2) For we know nothing about love unless we know that love edifies others in the wisdom and knowledge of God. (Eph 4:16) This is how we can love one another as Christ loved us (Jn 15:12, 17, Rom 13:8, Gal 5:14);

This is how true disciples love one another (Jn 13:35); This is the one mind we are to have so that the God of love and peace shall be with us. (2Cor 13:11) This is how we can love our neighbor as ourselves. (Gal 5:14) Love speaks the word of God using “bold” speech (2 Cor 7:4, Acts 4:29, 31) Love Rebukes so that others may be sound in the faith. (Prov 9:8, 27:5, Ecc 7:5, 2 Tim 4:2, Titus 1:13, 2:15, Rev 3:19)

We are to know those who are among us who labor in the word of God, and doctrine, so that we can esteem them very highly in love, for this gracious work. This is how we can be at peace among ourselves. (1Thess 5:12-13) This is how we can be holy ( meaning;- have this understanding, see Prov 9:10) without blame before Him (God); And rooted, (in the truth) (so that we can be) grounded in love. (Eph 1:4, 3:17)

Let us love one another within this deed and in this truth (1Jn 3:18) Love can rejoice in this truth that reveals grace. (1Cor 13:6, Col 1:6) If there is to be any fellowship of the Spirit, and comfort of love, let us be like minded, and of one accord so that we could experience this same love. (Phil 2:1-2) This is how we show our love to the saints, by writing these things down, so that others may be edified and built up. (Col 1:4, 1 Tim 3:14, 1 Cor 4:14, 2Cor 2:4, Est 9:30)

This is how we can be kindly affectionate, one to another within brotherly love; in honor, preferring one another (Rom 12:10); It’s all about increasing and abounding in this love, one towards another, and towards all men. (1Thes 3:12) Love Rebukes (Prov 9:8, 27:5, Ecc 7:5, 2 Tim 4:2, Titus 1:13, 2:15, Rev 3:19) Are you willing to have this same love toward others, with this same mind? (Phil 2:2);

Then you can abound in this love toward others, and all men (1 Thes 3:12); A willingness to be here, is acceptable unto God (1Cor 8:12); Because God first gives us a willingness, and then gives us the ability to perform these good things, for His good pleasure. (Phil 2:13) Are you being taught “how to” love others? (1 Thes 4:9); If not, then you will not be able to consider others, and provoke them to do this loving work which is good. (Heb 10:24)

This is how we can “prove” the sincerity of our love to others (2 Cor 8:8); This is the labor of love that ministers to the saints, which God will not forget (Heb 6:10); This is the love of God which we are to have, so that we can love others, because those who can love, are born of God. (1Jn 4:7)

Strong’s Hebrew # 1875 means to ask for something that has been well studied out, so that we can make valid claims, or inquiries, because we have done a very careful investigation. NOT TEN IN A THOUSAND BELIEVERS IS WITHIN THIS ASKING, so that they shall live (Am 5:3-4) Therefore there is no real seeking through informed asking, unless we are first keep silent, (meaning learning) so that we can be into what is good, (God moved) and not into what is evil, (self-moved) so that we might live. (5:13-14)

Let us ASK the Lord to direct our hearts into this love of God; without which we will have a disorderly walk which is not what we should want to receive. (2Thess 3:5-6) Let us ASK of God to purify our souls, so that we could obey this truth through the power of the Spirit, so that we could have sincere love for our brethren, within a heart, which has been (made) pure (to love) (1Pet 1:22);

Because we know that we are born again by the word of God. (1Pet 1:23, Jm 1:18, Jn 17:17) Did you know that love edifies with the word of God by writing down these letters or studies? (Es 9:30, 1Cor4:14, 14:26, Eph 4:29, 4:16, 1Thess 5:11, Rom 15:2, 1Tim 1:4) Let grace be with all those who (are willing) to love our Lord Jesus Christ within this sincerity. Amen. (Eph 6:24)
