What is Love
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13, ESV)
14 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
15 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
16 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
17 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
18 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
19 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
20 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
21 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 22 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
23 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
24 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."
25 To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head."
26 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:9-21, ESV)
27 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
28 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
29 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 30 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
31The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 32 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. (Romans 13:8-13, ESV)
