Bible verses about "love" | Murdock

Matthew 22:36-40

36 Teacher, which is the great command in the law? 37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the great and first command. 39 And the second, which is like it, is, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commands hang the law and the prophets.

John 14:15

15 If ye love me, keep my commands.

1 Corinthians 13:13

13 For these three things are abiding, faith, and hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1 If I could speak in every tongue of men, and in that of angels, and there should be no love in me, I should be like brass that resoundeth, or the cymbal that maketh a noise. 2 And if there should be in me the gift of prophecy, and I should understand all the mysteries, and every science; and if there should be in me all faith, so that I could move mountains, and love should not be in me, I should be nothing. 3 And if I should feed out to the destitute all I possess; and if I should give my body to be burned; and there should be no love in me, I gain nothing. 4 Love is long-suffering, and is kind; love is not envious; love is not boisterous; and is not inflated; 5 and doth nothing that causeth shame; and seeketh not her own; is not passionate; and thinketh no evil; 6 rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all, and endureth all. 8 Love will never cease. But prophesyings will end; and tongues will be silent; and knowledge will vanish. 9 For we know but partially; and we prophesy but partially. 10 But when completeness shall come, then that which is partial will vanish away. 11 When I was a child, I talked as a child, and I reasoned as a child, and I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I laid aside the things of childhood. 12 And now we see, as by a mirror, in similitude; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know, just as I am known. 13 For these three things are abiding, faith, and hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

7 My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God.

29 Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: 30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy might. This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

4 Love is long-suffering, and is kind; love is not envious; love is not boisterous; and is not inflated; 5 and doth nothing that causeth shame; and seeketh not her own; is not passionate; and thinketh no evil; 6 rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all, and endureth all. 8 Love will never cease. But prophesyings will end; and tongues will be silent; and knowledge will vanish.
