What is the scripture with love begets love in it?

Answer 1

1Jn 4:19 KJV We love him, because he first loved us.

God is love (1Jn 4:16) and love is of God or from God (1Jn 4:7). This means that we cannot have true love to truly love others unless the love of God for us begets love in us to cause us to love God and to love others.

Unless we perceive or are enlightened by God's deep love for us through sending His own son to die for us (1Jn 3:16), we cannot have true love for God and for others.

Answer 2

1Corinthians:13:1-13: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2: And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3: And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4: Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5: Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6: Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7: Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8: Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9: For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10: But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

(charity is love)

Answer 3

I have several favorite scriptures about 'love'.

**One would be 1 John 4:8, showing God's primary quality, and how important it is for a Christian to follow his lead: "Whoever does not love , does not know God, because God is love.(NIV)

**Another is found at John 13:35, showing that LOVE would be the identifying mark of TRUE Christians:"By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (NASB)(Proverbs 10:12)(Proverbs 15:17)

**Psalm 119:97-98 tells us that LOVING GOD'S LAW makes us wise!!

**Proverbs 4:5-9 and LOVING GOD'S WISDOM can save our lives
