God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline. (NIV)

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. (NIV)

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. (NIV)

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. (NIV)

We love because he first loved us. (NIV)

Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. (NIV)

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (NIV)

The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. (NIV)

He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. (NIV)

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. (NIV)
