It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. (NIV)
Song of Solomon 8:7

John 15:13

1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (NIV)
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. (NIV)

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. (NIV)
1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (NIV)
1 John 4:18
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)

Jesus loved us enough to tell us how to get to Heaven. He told us to forgive each other in order to get along with each other and be prepared to go to a harmony-loving place like Heaven. But, even Jesus' disciples did not get the point. So Jesus loved us enough to warn us:
Jesus said, "If you do not forgive others, your father in Heaven will not forgive you".
That is the clearest verse in the Bible. .

Love is defined 1 Corinthians 13.
Try replacing the word "Love" with "Jesus" and see how it reads.
