Bible Verses About Love
The love of God, and the love he calls us to — Scripture on the greatest of all things.
The Bible's account of love is not sentimental. It is patient, costly, and sure — the kind of love God shows us first, and then asks us to pass on.
These are among the most quoted verses on love in all of Scripture, from wedding readings to whispered comfort.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
“Charity” here is the old word for love — the fullest description of it ever written.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
We love him, because he first loved us.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
A list of everything that cannot come between you and God's love — which is to say, nothing can.
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
The whole story of the Bible is, in the end, a love story — God's relentless love for people who could never earn it. To be loved like that changes how we love everyone else.
