Love in Matthew

Appears 11 times
The Lord Jesus instructs those who came to hear Him.
Matthew 5:43-44,46 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, 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;
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon.

Matthew 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Teaching from the Mount of Olives:
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
