Love Verses

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. {affections: or, passions}

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in {his} kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, {even} Christ: {speaking...: or, being sincere}

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
