• 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is

not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in

evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always

perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are

tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

• 1 John 3:16-18

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay

down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need

but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with

words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

• Deuteronomy 10:12-19

And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to

walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your

soul, and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own

good? To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and

everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he

chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today. Circumcise your hearts,

therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. For the LORD your God is God of gods and

Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no

bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him

food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in

Egypt.

• Deuteronomy 11:13-22

So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the LORD your God and to

serve him with all your heart and with all your soul-- then I will send rain on your land in its

season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I

will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. Be careful, or

you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. Then the

LORD's anger will burn against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain and the

ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving

you. Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and

bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at

home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them

on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your

children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the

days that the heavens are above the earth. If you carefully observe all these commands I am

giving you to follow--to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fast to him--

• Song of Solomon 8:4-8

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Who is

this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? Under the apple tree I roused you; there

your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth. Place me like a seal over

your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the

grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers

cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly

scorned. We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our

sister for the day she is spoken for?
