The Bible says much about love! In a standard translation like the CSB, from Genesis to Revelation, it's translated 774 times. Thanks to the power of Accordance, you can see a graph like this. The number shows the number of times the original word is translated "love" out of the 774. The Hebrew and Greek characters show you the spelling of the Hebrew (OT) and Greek (NT) word. The English phonetic spelling is how to pronounce the respective Hebrew or Greek word. (for example: chesed, ahav, ahavah, agape.) The number (G0026) is the reference number in the Greek or Hebrew Dictionary. If you click on the colored sections, Accordance will give you a list of those verses that have the respective Greek or Hebrew word. This graphic is meaningful to me because it shows the depth and variety of God's love for His creation and His people. One of those words, CHESED is the word translated for Love here: Psa. 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his faithful love toward those who fear him. Praise God! var refTagger = { settings: { bibleVersion: "ESV" } }; (function(d, t) { var g = d.createElement(t), s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; g.src = '//api.reftagger.com/v2/RefTagger.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s); }(document, 'script'));
