1 John 4:9-10 “9 Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.”
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.”
John 17:26 “26 And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.”
