Subject: How many times is love in the bible. |
Bible Note: Greetings Aixen! The phrase 'not love' occurs 17 times in 17 verses in the NIV. ;-) The order 'love not' only occurs once, in 1 John 4:10: "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." Some of the 'supposed' differences in the Greek words for love have been overstated to say the least. But, your point is quite good! We don't need to simply count the verses, but read them and apply them as well! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
