From the article: Bible Verses About Love
Most of us are familiar with the famous "Love Chapter" in the Bible—1 Corinthians 13. But with approximately 730 verses about love (NLT), the Bible has more than a little to say about the subject.

To complement my collection of Scriptures on love, I'm asking you to share your favorite Bible verse about love.
