English Standard Version

The Lord says:

I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Hosea 6:6

If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

John 14:15

Hosea 6 (English Standard Version)

3 Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord;
his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth.”
4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?
What shall I do with you, O Judah?
Your love is like a morning cloud,
like the dew that goes early away.
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets;
I have slain them by the words of my mouth,
and my judgment goes forth as the light.
6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
7 But like Adam they transgressed the covenant;
there they dealt faithlessly with me.
8 Gilead is a city of evildoers,
tracked with blood.
9 As robbers lie in wait for a man,
so the priests band together;
they murder on the way to Shechem;
they commit villainy.

12 I tell you the truth, anyone who trusts in me will do the same things I am doing. In fact they will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.

15 If you love me, you will keep my commands.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter,

18 I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
