LOVE ACCORDING TO THE HOLY BIBLE

Question: What is LOVE????? 

Answer: FROM THE HOLY BIBLE

1 Corinthians 13

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Excellence of Love

13 

1. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

 ² If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 

³ And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body ^[a]to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

⁵ does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrongsuffered,

 ⁶ does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

^7 [b]bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸ Love never fails; but if there are gifts of ^[c]prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

 ¹⁰ but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

¹¹ When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I ^[d]became a man, I did away with childish things.

¹² For now we see in a mirror ^[e]dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

 ¹³ But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the ^[f]greatest of these is love.
