'Love' in the Bible

For we never fail to remember your works of faith and labours of love and your persistent and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father;

But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to see you--

and as for you, may the Lord teach you to love one another and all men, with a growing and a glowing love, resembling our love for you.

But on the subject of love for the brotherhood it is unnecessary for me to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;

and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedonia. And we exhort you to do so more and more,

But let us, belonging--as we do--to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
