Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD), Jewish revolutionary, cult founder and leader, political activist, humanitarian, pacifist, egalitarian social reformer, lecturer and moral philosopher
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbour as yourself.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I tell you the truth; it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Let me into your lives, your world. Live on me, so that you may become truly alive.
Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.
My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.
Open the door to me, as I have opened myself for you.
So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.
