love Love, benevolence, good will, esteem; plur: love-feasts. † ἀγάπη, -ης, ἡ [in LXX for אַהֲבָה, which is also rendered by ἀγάπησις and φιλία;] love, goodwill, esteem.

SYN.: φιλία. ἀ., signifying properly (v.s. ἀγαπάω ) love which chooses its object, is taken over from LXX, where its connotation is more general, into NT, and there used exclusively to express that spiritual bond of love between God and man and between man and man, in Christ, which is characteristic of Christianity. It is thus distinct from φιλία, friendship ( Ja 4:4 only), στοργή, natural affection (in NT only in compounds, v.s. ἄστοργος ) and ἔρως, sexual love, which is not used in NT, its place being taken by ἐπιθυμία.
