Love Bible Verses
Love
does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Dear
friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves
has been born of God and knows God.
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. We
love because he first loved us.
Greater
love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Husbands,
love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
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. If anyone has material
possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the
love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or
tongue but with actions and in truth.
Whoever
does not love does not know God, because God is love.
"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.
I
love you, O LORD, my strength.
Finally,
the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she
be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?" Jesus
replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power
of God.
And
now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your
God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all
your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the LORD's
commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? To
the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and
everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers
and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as
it is today. Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be
stiff-necked any longer. For the LORD your God is God of gods and
Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and
accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the
widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. And you
are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.
So
if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the LORD
your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your
soul-- then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn
and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and
oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you
will eat and be satisfied. Be careful, or you will be enticed to
turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. Then the
LORD's anger will burn against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it
will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish
from the good land the LORD is giving you. Fix these words of mine
in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on
your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when
you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when
you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your
gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many
in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days
that the heavens are above the earth. If you carefully observe all
these commands I am giving you to follow--to love the LORD your God, to walk in
all his ways and to hold fast to him--
Daughters
of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so
desires. Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover?
Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she
who was in labor gave you birth. 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. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly
scorned. We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for?
"No
one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or
he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God
and Money.
Jesus
replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.'
they
love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the
synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have
men call them 'Rabbi.' "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,'
for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.
All things are possible with God.
Jesus loves you very much.

The
second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment
greater than these."
Do
to others as you would have them do to you.
But
love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get
anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most
High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
The
Pharisees challenged him, "Here you are, appearing as your own witness;
your testimony is not valid."
Love
must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Love
does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Love
is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there
are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
And
now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is
love.
Be
completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Above
all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Dear

respect her husband.
And
over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Hatred
stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.
A
friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
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. If anyone has material

will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish
from the good land the LORD is giving you. Fix these words of mine
in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on
your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when
you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when
you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your
gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many
in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days
that the heavens are above the earth. If you carefully observe all
these commands I am giving you to follow--to love the LORD your God, to walk in
all his ways and to hold fast to him--
Daughters
of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so
desires. Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover?
Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she
who was in labor gave you birth. 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. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly
scorned. We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for?
"No
one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or
he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God
and Money.
Jesus
replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.'
they
love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the
synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have
men call them 'Rabbi.' "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,'
for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.
