Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.

Do everything in love.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

We love because He first loved us.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.

Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’

Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
