Ecclesiastes 8:10 Today's English Version
Endless seas and floods,
Torrents and rivers
Never put out love's
Infinite fires.

Can buy them love
Only play the fool
And meet with scorn.The Song of Solomon 8:7 The Song of Songs, by Marcia Falk
Keep the royal law of love which is taught in our Holy Writings:
"Love your neighbor as you love yourself."
Then you will always do right.James 2:8 The Inspired Letters of the New Testament, by Frank C. Laubach
Christians must never stop loving their fellow-Christians. Do not forget the duty of hospitality, for there are those who through it have entertained angels without being aware that they were doing so.
Hebrews 13:1, 2 A New Translation, by William Barclay
