Love

6Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh.

7Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.

30you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

31The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

32The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,

33and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

34A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

21One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

9Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

10If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

27for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

8But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

37No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

8He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

11Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

12No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

16We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
