'Love' in the Bible

for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.

wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;

not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

the shewing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, to them shew ye, even in the face of the assemblies.

each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love,

wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!

Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;

the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.
