Everything that is or ever could be quoted about "Faith and Love" is trying to communicate that 'Faith in God leads us to love Him and others' because He first loved us.
You cannot have one without the other and this is a perfect biblical principle.
So your statement that "A believer might have faith without love (1 Corinthians 13). An unbeliever might have love without faith (Romans 2)" is completely wrong. It is a superfluous idea.
Those biblical statements if looked at correctly are stating that it is impossible to love God without faith in His word.

Search me oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me to the way everlasting. Amen
