'Love' in the Bible

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.

As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.

I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.

That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.

Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

Hatred stirreth up strifes; But love covereth all transgressions.

Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; And they love him that speaketh right.

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Love not sleep, let thou come to poverty; Open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.
