Lovely definitions of Love:
Mark 12:29 - Y'shua said the 1st
Commandment is 'Shema (hear and obey) O Israel! Master YHWH is one -
Love Him with all your heart, with all your soul, all your mind and
strength. The 2nd is like it - Love your neighbor as yourself'
(Leviticus 19:18)
Luke 6:35 - Love your enemies and do good to them
and lend a hand and do not cut off the hope of man. Be merciful as
your Father is merciful... for the measure with which you measure, it
will be measured to you. Take the beam
out of your own eye then you will be able to see to take out the straw
that is in the eye of your brother.
Romans 12:9 - Let not your love
be full of deceit, but be haters of evil things and adhere to good
things. Love one another, honor one another, be active and not
slothful. Be fervent in spirit. Work for Y'shua. Be joyful in your
hope/Good News. Be patient under your afflictions and preserving in
prayer. Be communicators to the wants of the Set Apart believers. Be
kind to strangers. Bless your persecutors, bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with them who rejoice and weep with them who weep. Do not
indulge in arrogant thoughts, but unite yourselves with the humble
minded. Be not wise in your own estimations. Repay no man evil for
evil but let it be to your study to do good before all men.

Corinthians 13:4 - Love is patient and kind. Love is not envious, does
not shout loudly and is not boastful. Love does nothing that causes
shame, and seeks not her own (ego-strokers). Love is not passionate,
and thinks no evil. It does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in
truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes for all and
endures all. Love will never cease (His steadfast love is eternal).
These three things are abiding: Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest
of these is Love.
