I'm so excited to share these awesome Valentine's Day Bible Verses with you. As I was thinking about Valentine's Day, I thought about making some Valentine's Day cards with Bible verses, so I started going through the Bible to look for verses.
I found plenty of romantic Bible verses and some beautiful Bible verses that talk about God's love for us. There were also Bible verses that talk about our relationships with others and how we are called to love.

1 Corinthians 13 – The Love Chapter
If you've ever been to a Christian wedding (or even a non-Christian wedding) there is a good chance that you've heard 1 Corinthians 13 being read aloud. It's known as the love chapter of the Bible. Since I figured it would be challenging to fit the entire passage on one graphic, I created multiple smaller graphics, but I did want to include the entire passage since it does a great job talking about the true meaning of love.
1 Corinthians 13
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have 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 do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
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.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-6
1 Corinthians 13:4-6 – “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.”
1 Corinthians 13:7
1 Corinthians 13:7 – “Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
1 Corinthians 13:13
1 Corinthians 13:13 – “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 16:14
1 Corinthians 16:14 – “Let all that you do be done in love.”

Galatians 5:22-23
Galatians 5:22-23 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

Ephesians 4:1-3
Ephesians 4:1-3 – “I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
