Thoughts on love straight from the source (in no particular order) – The Holy Bible (ESV):
Colossians 3:14
“And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; It is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. So now, faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
Romans 13:8
“Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who has loved another has fulfilled the law.”
1 Corinthians 16:14
“Let all that you do be done in love.”
John 15:12
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
1 John 4:16
“So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”
1 Peter 4:8
“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”
1 John 4:19
“We love because he first loved us.”
John 15:13
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
Proverbs 10:12
“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.”
1 John 4:8
“Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
Luke 10:27
“And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself.’”

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
With love eternal,
