But the greatest of these is love. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. 10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 20 So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
