'Love' in the Bible

For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not so that you may be caused to be sad, but so that you may know the love that I have especially for you.

Therefore I urge you to confirm [your] love for him.

For the love of Christ controls us, [because we] have concluded this: that one died for all; as a result all died.

in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love without hypocrisy,

But just as you excel in everything--in faith and in speaking and in knowledge and with all diligence and in the love from us [that is] in you--so may you excel in this grace also.

I am not saying [this] as a command, but proving the genuineness of your love by means of the diligence of others.

Therefore show to them the proof of your love and our boasting about you {openly before} the churches.

{Why}? Because I do not love you? God knows [I do]!

But I will spend and be expended most gladly for your lives. If I love you much more, am I to be loved less?

Finally, brothers, rejoice, be restored, be encouraged, {be in agreement}, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit [be] with all of you.
