2 Samuel 12:11-14
"Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die."
God acknowledges polygamy, plus arranges kidnapping, multiple rapes, and kills a baby all together in one story! It just doesn't get any better than this!

Numbers 31:15 "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. 16 "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD's people.

Amos 5:21-24 (King James Version)
21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

The Corinthians passage about love. (by the way, I'm not using the KJV for these passages because it uses "charity" in place of "love")
1 Corinthians 13: 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails.
I especially like the next bit in 1 Cor 13 -
11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Isaiah 49:15-16
It was prophetic as well, referring to Jesus' having nail scarred hands. That is how I know He will never forget me.

The entire first chapter of the Gospel of John.
And that would be a lot of copy-pasting.
