508 ( 697) times in the NIV.

280 (442) in the KJV.

The bracketed number includes words like 'loves', and 'loved'.

-- another answer --

In the King James version

the word - love - appears 310 times

the word - love's - appears once

the word - loved - appears 98 times

the word - lovedst - appears twice

the word - lovely - appears 4 times

the word - lover - appears 4 times

the word - lovers - appears 23 times

the word - loves - appears twice

the word - lovest - appears 12 times

the word - loveth - appears 65 times

the word - loving - appears 3 times

the word - lovingkindness - appears 26 times

the word - lovingkindnesses - appears 4 times

I think the first answer at the top counts only verses, and not actual appearances of the word - which often appears more than once in a verse.
