15 Bible Verses About Love the Greatest Gift

Suppose I speak in the tongues of human beings, and of angels too. If I do not have love, I am no more than booming bronze or a clashing cymbal.

I may be able to prophesy, and know every mystery and everything there is to know; I may have all the faith there is, enough to move mountains; but if I do not have love, I am nothing.

Love never comes to an end. But prophecies will be done away with; tongues will fall silent; knowledge will be done away with.

Over all of these put on love, which binds everything together and makes it complete.

Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy, does not show off, is not puffed up. It does not behave shamefully, it does not look for its own advantage, it does not lose its temper, and it does not keep a tally of wrongs.

It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but shares the joy of the truth. There is nothing love cannot bear, no time when it stops believing or hoping, nothing it cannot endure.

The one who does not love has never known God, for God is love.

I am giving you a new commandment: love one another. In the same way that I have loved you, you too must love one another. If you have love for one another, everyone will know by this that you are my disciples.”

Do not stay in debt to anyone, except for the debt of love you owe one another. Whoever loves another person has fulfilled the law.

We ourselves have come to know the love God has for us, and we believe it. God is love. Whoever remains in love remains in God, and God remains in them.

Most important of all, keep your love for one another strong and unfailing, because love covers a great many sins.

Love does no harm to a neighbor, and so love is what fulfills the law.

We love because he loved us first.

For in Christ Jesus, being circumcised or uncircumcised counts for nothing. What counts is faith at work through love.
