# Bible verses about love

The Bible talks about love more than almost any other subject, and it uses the word in three ways: the love God has for people, the love people owe God, and the love they owe each other. The best-known passage, 1 Corinthians 13, was written to a quarrelling church rather than a couple, which is why it describes love by what it does (it is patient, kind and keeps no record of wrongs) instead of how it feels.

The verses below are grouped by those three themes. Every one is quoted word for word from the World English Bible, a modern public-domain translation, so you can print it, post it or put it in a video without asking permission.

## What love is

The passages people read at weddings, and the ones that define love by its actions.

1. > Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
