Love

The true meaning of love


Love suffers long and is kind; 
love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own, 
is not provoked, 
thinks no evil; 

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.

Love never fails.

And now abide faith,
hope,
love,
these three;
but the greatest of these is love. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13




Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, 
put on tender mercies, 
kindness,
humility,
meekness,
longsuffering; 
bearing with one another,
and forgiving one another,
if anyone has a complaint against another;
even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  

But above all these things put on love,
which is the bond of perfection. 

Colossians 3:12-14

  9. Beautiful verses. What is interesting is to think about the fact that the Bible says that "God IS love"... so every time a verse talks about love, it is talking about God Himself in some way. "Love never fails" suddenly also means "God" never fails.. and no wonder 1 Cor 13:13 says "but the greatest of these is love"!!
