Love's Opposite

"The opposite of love 

is not hate, 

it’s indifference."

-Elie Wiesel

Ephesians 4:25-32

..."Therefore, laying aside falsehood, 

speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, 

for we are members of one another.

Be angry, and yet do not sin; 

do not let the sun go down on your anger,

and do not give the devil an opportunity.

He who steals must steal no longer; 

but rather he must labor, performing 

with his own hands what is good, 

so that he will have something to share 

with one who has need.

Let no unwholesome word proceed 

from your mouth, but only such a word 

as is good for edification according 

to the need of the moment, so that 

it will give grace to those who hear.

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, 

by whom you were sealed for the day 

of redemption.

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger 

and clamor and slander be put away from you, 

along with all malice.

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, 

forgiving each other, just as God in Christ 

also has forgiven you."
