Bible verses about "love" | Haweis

Matthew 22:36-40

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Then Jesus said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like to it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." 40 On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.

John 14:15

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1 Corinthians 13:13

13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greater of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1 THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become as sounding brass, and tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all manner of science; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And if I deal out all my goods in alms, and deliver up my body that I should be burned, but have not love, I am nothing advantaged by it. 4 Love is long-suffering, is kind; love envieth not; love is no vain boaster, is not inflated [with pride], 5 doth not act unseemly, seeketh not her own advantage, is not passionate, thinketh no evil; 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Love never faileth: but if there be prophetic gifts, they shall be no more; if tongues, they shall cease; if science, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know partially, and prophesy partially. 10 But when that which is perfect cometh, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I grew a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see by reflected light, indistinctly; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know even as I am known. 13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greater of these is love.

This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no greater commandment than these.
