These Bible verses about love were chosen because love is plain in the words themselves, not only in the chapter around them. They gather three strands the Bible keeps distinct: the love God shows first, the love commanded between people, and the description in 1 Corinthians 13 of what love actually does. The King James Version renders the Greek agape as charity in that chapter, so you will read charity where a modern translation says love. Every scripture on love here can be copied, saved, or turned into an image to share.
