Love
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. John 13:34 NRSV
We love because he first loved us. Those who say, “I love God,” and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also. 1 John 4:19-21 NRSV
Listen
Answering before listening is both stupid and rude. Proverbs 18:13 MSG
You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; James 1:19 NRSV

“The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ Matthew 21:25 NLT
