Psalm 145:8
New King James Version
8 (A)The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
Psalm 103:8-11
New King James Version
8 (A)The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 (B)He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 (C)He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
1 John 4:10-19
New King James Version
10 In this is love, (A)not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son (B)to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, (C)if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Seeing God Through Love
12 (D)No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 (E)By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And (F)we have seen and testify that (G)the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 (H)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and (I)he who abides in love abides in God, and God (J)in him.
The Consummation of Love
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that (K)we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 (L)We love [a]Him because He first loved us.

6 “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ 7 (A)I made you [a]thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; (B)so I spread [b]My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I (C)swore an oath to you and entered into a (D)covenant with you, and (E)you became Mine,” says the Lord God.
