If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

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

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.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

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.

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.

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

If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

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.

He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

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

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.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.”

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

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.

If you love me, keep my commands.

It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

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.

“And with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

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

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.

By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.

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.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

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.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

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 I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

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.

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.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

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.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

We love because He first loved us.

Do everything in love.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
