In this post, we’ve collected the top 20 bible quotes about love, along with testament, paragraph and line(s). Whilst Shakespeare wrote some of the most famous love quotes, these were all pre-dated by the various writers of the bible’s old testament, who themselves wrote many beautiful and original quotes about love that have truly stood the test of time. SO here are the top love quotes in the bible:
1. “Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.”
Proverbs 10:12
2. “Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
Corinthians 13:4-13
3. “Let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.”
John 3:18
4. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”
John 4:18
5. “A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.”
Proverbs 15:17
6. “There are three things that amaze me —
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.”
Proverbs 30:18-19
7. “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.”
Song of Solomon 1:2
8. “My lover is mine, and I am his.”
Song of Solomon 2:16
9. “How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!”
Song of Solomon 4:10
10. “Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.”
Song of Solomon 8:6
11. “Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.”

12. “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.”
