GENESIS 22:2  "Then Alahim (god) said (to Abraham), 'Take your son to the land of Moriah and kill your son there as a sacrifice for Me. This must be Isaac, your only son, the one you love. Use him as a burnt (ascending-near) offering on one of the mountains there. I will tell you which mountain.'"

GENESIS 30:14 "During the wheat harvest Reuben went into the fields and found some special Dudaim Love-Apples (the mandrake hallucinogen). He brought them to his mother Leah. But Rachel said to Leah, 'Please give me some of your son's love-apples.' Leah answered, 'You have already taken away my husband. Now you are trying to take away my son's love-apples too'. But Rachel answered, 'If you will give me your son's love-apples, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.' Jacob came in from the fields that night. Leah saw him and went out to meet him. She said, 'You will sleep with me tonight. I have paid for you with my son's love-apples.' So Jacob slept with Leah that night. And Alahim allowed her to get pregnant again and she gave birth to a fifth son".

SONG 1:2  "Cover me with kisses, for your love is better than wine".

SONG OF SOLOMON  "My lover took me to the wine house, his intent toward me was love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, because I am weak with love. Women of Jerusalem, promise me by the gazelles and wild deer, don't awaken love, don't arouse love, until I am ready. At night on my bed, I look for the man I love. I looked for Him, but I could not find Him. I will get up now! I will go around the city. In the streets and squares, I will look for the man I love. I looked for Him, but I could not find Him. The guards patrolling the city found me. I asked them, 'Have you seen the man I love?' I had just left the guards when I found the man I love! I held Him. I would not let Him go, while I took Him to my mother's house, to the room of one who bore me ... Your love is so beautiful, my Darling, My Bride! Your love is better than wine. The smell of your perfume is better than any kind of spice! My Darling My Bride, I have entered My garden. I have gathered My myrrh and spice. I have eaten My honey and honeycomb. I have drunk My wine and milk. Dearest friends, eat, drink! Be drunk with love! I am asleep, but my heart is awake. I hear my lover knocking, saying, 'Open to me, my darling, my love, my dove, my perfect one! My head is soaked with dew. My hair is wet with the mist of the night.' I tell you, women of Jerusalem, if you find my lover, tell Him I am weak with love. Keep me near you like a seal you wear over your heart, like a signet ring you wear on your hand. Love is as strong as death. Passion is as strong as the grave. Its sparks become a flame, and it grows to become a great fire! A flood cannot put out love. Rivers cannot drown love. Would people despise a man for giving everything he owns for love?"

MATTHEW 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly. If you do this, you will be children who are truly like your Father in Heaven. He lets the sun rise for all people, whether they are good or bad. He sends rain to those who do right and to those who do wrong. If you love only those who love you, why should you get a reward for that? Even the tax collectors do that. And if you are nice only to your friends, you are no better than anyone else. Even the people who don't know Alahim (god) are nice to their friends".

MATTHEW 10:37 "Those who love their father or mother more than they love me are not worthy of me. And those who love their son or daughter more than they love me are not worthy of me".

MATTHEW 22:36 "'Teacher, which command in the Law is the most important?' Yahusha answered, 'Love Yahuah your Alahim (god) with all your heart, all your body, and all your mind.' This is the first and most important command. And the second command is like the first: 'Love your neighbour the same as you love yourself.' All of the law and the writings of the prophets hang from these Two Commands'."

JOHN 13:34 "I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other just as I loved you. All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other."

JOHN 14:15 "If you love me, you will do what I command".

JOHN 14:21 "'Those who really love Me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make Myself known to them.' Yahusha answered, 'All who love Me will obey My teaching".

JOHN 15:13 "The greatest love people can show is to die for their friends ... This is my command: Love each other ... If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as it loves its own people. But I have chosen you to be different from those in the world. So you don't belong to the world, and that is why the world hates you".

ROMANS 8:28 "We know that in everything Alahim (god) works for the good of those who love him. These are the people Alahim (god) chose, because that was His plan ... Can anything separate us from Messiah's love? Can trouble or problems or persecution separate us from His love? If we have no food or clothes or face danger or even death, will that separate us from his love?

ROMANS 13:8 "You should owe nothing to anyone, except that you will always owe love to each other. The person who loves others has done all that the law commands. The law says, "You must not commit adultery, you must not murder anyone, you must not steal, you must not want what belongs to someone else. All these commands and all other commands are really only one rule: 'Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself'. Love doesn't hurt others. So loving is the same as obeying all the law".

1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 "But as the Scriptures say, "No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what Alahim (god) has prepared for those who love him."

1 CORINTHIANS 13:1 "I may speak in different languages, whether human or even of angels. But if I don't have love, I am only a noisy bell or a ringing cymbal. I may have the gift of prophecy, I may understand all secrets and know everything there is to know, and I may have faith so great that I can move mountains. But even with all this, if I don't have love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have to help others, and I may even give my body as an offering to be burned. But I gain nothing by doing all this if I don't have love. Love is patient and kind.

Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. Love will never end. But all those gifts will come to an end—even the gift of prophecy, the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages, and the gift of knowledge. These will all end because this knowledge and these prophecies we have are not complete. But when perfection comes, the things that are not complete will end. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I made plans like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways. It is the same with us. Now we see Alahim (god) as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then, in the future, we will see him right before our eyes. Now I know only a part, but at that time I will know fully, as Alahim (god) has known me. So these three things continue: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love".

1 CORINTHIANS 14:1 "Love should be the goal of your life, but you should also want to have the gifts that come from the Spirit. And the gift you should want most is to be able to prophesy ... Do everything in love ... If anyone does not love Alahim, let that person be separated from Alahim (god) — lost forever! Come, O' Yahusha!"

GALATIANS 5:14 "The whole law (torah) is made complete in this one command: 'Love your neighbour the same as you love yourself' ... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such there is no law".

EPHESIANS 5:2 "Live a life of love. Love others just as Yahusha loved us. He gave Himself for us—a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to Alahim (god) .... Husbands, love your wives the same as Messiah loved the Assembly and gave His life for it ... so husbands should love their wives like that. They should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself, but each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself. And a wife must respect her husband".

COLOSSIANS 3:14 "Together with these things, the most important part of your new life is to love each other. Love is what holds everything together in perfect unity ... Husbands, love your wives, and be gentle to them".

2 THESSALONIANS 2:10  "The Man of Evil will use every kind of evil to fool those who are lost. They are lost because they refused to love the truth and be delivered".

2 TIMOTHY 1:7  "The Spirit Alahim (god) gave us does not make us afraid. His Spirit is a source of power and love and self-control".

JAMES 2:8  "One law rules over all other laws. This Royal Law is found in the Scriptures: 'Love your neighbour the same as you love yourself.' If you obey this law, you are doing right".

1 PETER 4:8 "Most important of all, love each other deeply, because love makes you willing to forgive many sins".

1 JOHN 3:14 "We know that we have left death and have come into life. We know this because we love each other as brothers and sisters. Anyone who does not love is still in death ... This is how we know what real love is: Yahusha gave His life for us. So we should give our lives for each other as brothers and sisters".

1 JOHN 4:12 "No one has ever seen Alahim (god). But if we love each other, He lives in us. If we love each other, Alahim's love has reached its goal—it is made perfect in us ... Where Alahim's love is, there is no fear, because His perfect love takes away fear. It is His punishment that makes a person fear. So His love is not made perfect in the one who still has fear".

REVELATION 2:4 "But I have this against you: You have left the love you had in the beginning".

REVELATION 3:19 "I correct and punish the people I love. So show that nothing is more important to you than living right. Change your hearts and lives".

REVELATION 12:11 "They defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their witness (testimony), and they did not love their lives to the death".

REVELATION 22:15 "Outside the city are all those who live like dogs—those who do evil magic, those who sin sexually, those who murder, those who worship idols, and those who love to lie and pretend to be good".
