Bible verses about "beloved" | Mace
John 3:16-17
3 John 1:2
2 I wish, my beloved, you may be as prosperous with regard to your health and other circumstances, as in what concerns your soul.
1 John 4:1-3
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 by this you may distinguish the spirit of God: "every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is from God.
3 and every spirit that does not own that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not from God." this is that anti-christian spirit which you have heard was to come, and even now it appears in the world.
Ephesians 5:1-20
1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as his dear children; live together in love,
2 for Christ loved us, and for us gave himself an offering and a sacrifice acceptable to God.
3 But fornication, and all impurity, or inordinate desire, let it not be approved by you, as being unworthy of christians: neither ribaldry,
4 nor buffoonry, which they call pleasantry, but is indecent: be you rather exercised in social virtue.
5 for this you know, that no licentious or dissolute person, no lewd libertine, that is, an idolater, hath any part in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.
6 let no man mislead you by vain reasonings: for it is for these vices, that the wrath of God lights upon the incredulous.
7 don't you therefore be concern'd with them.
8 you were heretofore altogether in the dark, but now being enlightned by the Lord, behave as children of light:
9 for the natural effect of light, is universal benevolence, justice, and truth:
10 consider what is acceptable to the Lord;
11 and be not accomplices in the fruitless practices of vice; on the contrary, condemn them.
12 for it is a shame even to mention what they practise in secret.
13 but whatever is unjustifiable will be brought to light: and that will show them to be unjustifiable.
14 wherefore 'tis said, " awake thou that sleepest, arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."
15 See then that you behave circumspectly, and not as fools, but as wise,
16 weighing the circumstances of the season, because the times are dangerous.
17 wherefore be not imprudent, but consider what is agreeable to the divine will.
18 do not drink to excess, for that tends to dissoluteness, but be regal'd with spiritual entertainments:
19 expressing yourselves in psalms, in hymns, and spiritual songs; and let your hearts beat the time, in concerts of praises to the Lord,
20 and this the burthen of the song, "thanks be to God, even the father, for his son Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 1:7
7 to all the beloved of God, the saints by this vocation, who are in Rome, grace to you, and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 4:1
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Matthew 17:5
5 while he was speaking, a bright cloud surrounded them: and suddenly a voice broke out of the cloud, saying, "this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."
1 John 4:7-8
1 John 3:1-2
1 Consider what proof the father has given us of his love, in allowing us to be called the sons of God: therefore the world does not know us, because it knew him not.
2 beloved, we are now the sons of God, tho' it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know, that when this change shall be, his immediate presence will give us a divine resemblance.
Colossians 3:12
12 be you therefore adorn'd with a compassionate temper, with benevolence, humility, meekness, patience as becometh saints and chosen favourites of God:
