Paragraph 2: According to Matthew 22:37-40, what are the two greatest commandments, and why may we have difficulty obeying the second one?
He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.' "
Because our brothers and sisters—who are among our closest neighbors—are imperfect. At times, they may say and do things that we feel are uncaring and unkind. Jehovah helps us though, with this article!

Paragraph 9: You can prove that you love people by what you choose to do with your life. Satan’s system would have you spend all your time and energy on yourself, trying to make money or to make a name for yourself. But what did Jesus and John do with their lives?
Instead, self-sacrificing Kingdom proclaimers all over the world spend as much time as they can preaching the good news and helping people to draw close to Jehovah.
“There is a friend who sticks _____________________.” (Prov. 18:24) Jesus valued such friends. During his ministry, none of his fleshly brothers put faith in him. At one point, his relatives even thought that he had gone mad. By contrast, Jesus could say to the faithful apostles on the night before his death: “You are the ones who have stuck with me in my trials.”—Luke 22:28.

Paragraph 19
What does 1 John 4:7 encourage us to do, and why?
It encourages us to be determined to love Jehovah and our brothers and sisters, to express that love by what we say, and to prove that love by what we do. Then we will have the satisfaction of being part of Jehovah’s family, and life will truly be worth living.—Read 1 John 4:7.
