LOVE Matthew 19:17-19

"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments." "Which ones?" he inquired. Jesus replied, " 'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.' "

If you want to enter life, keep the commandments
Leviticus 18:5 " 'Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.' "

You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother
Exodus 20:12-16 (also Deuteronomy 5:16-20) "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor."
James 2:10-11 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said "You shall not commit adultery," also said, "You shall not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

love your neighbor as yourself
Leviticus 19:18 " 'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.' "
Matthew 5:43-44 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, . . .''
