1 Corinthians 13:4-7
KJV: Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
NKJV: Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
NIV: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Interpretation: Paul provides a detailed portrait of genuine love in action. Love shows itself through patience, kindness, and humility. It avoids envy, pride, and selfishness. True love does not keep score of wrongs or celebrate when others fail. Instead, love protects, trusts, hopes, and endures through every circumstance.

Matthew 22:37-39
KJV: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
NKJV: Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
NIV: Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Interpretation: Jesus identifies love as the greatest commandment. Loving God requires complete devotion of heart, soul, and mind. The second command extends love horizontally to other people. These two commands summarize all of Scripture's moral teaching. Love for God and love for others cannot be separated.

NKJV: My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
NIV: Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
Interpretation: Genuine love expresses itself through actions, not empty words. Talking about love without demonstrating it falls short of true love. The verse calls believers to back up their words with concrete deeds. Love must be sincere and truthful, showing itself in practical ways that help others.

Romans 8:38-39
KJV: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NKJV: For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NIV: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Interpretation: Nothing in all creation can break the bond of God's love for believers. Paul lists every possible threat, from death to spiritual powers. None of them can separate Christians from God's love. The security believers have in Christ's love provides unshakeable confidence through any circumstance.

NKJV: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
NIV: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Interpretation: Christ's love for the church becomes the model for marriage. Husbands should love their wives with the same self-giving devotion Christ showed. He gave Himself completely for the church. The verse sets a high standard for marital love, calling husbands to sacrificial commitment.
