Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

Pursue love and be eager for the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

who also told us of your love in the Spirit.

And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond.

Above all keep your love for one another fervent, because love covers a multitude of sins.

to godliness, brotherly affection; to brotherly affection, unselfish love.

But I have this against you: You have departed from your first love!

Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples – if you have love for one another.”

No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life for his friends.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.

But you, as a person dedicated to God, keep away from all that. Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love – I, Paul, an old man and even now a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus –

But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

and thus to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

complete my joy and be of the same mind, by having the same love, being united in spirit, and having one purpose.
