Love in Hebrew In the Hebrew language, love means many things: And make me savoury meat, such as I love (‘ahab), and bring [it] to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. (Gen. 27:4) And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him [but] a few days, for the love (‘ahabah) he had to her. (Gen. 29:20) And thou shalt love (‘ahab) the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Deut. 6:5)

Contrast between Agape and Phileo John 21:15-17 v. 15- So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest (agape) thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love (phileo) thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. v. 16 - He saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest (agape) thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love (phileo) thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. v. 17 - He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest (phileo) thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love (phileo) thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Agape Verses in the New Testament But I say unto you, Love (agape) your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matt. 5:44) And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mar 12:31) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)

Agape Love Chapter – 1 Cor. 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (agape), I am nothing. (I Cor. 13:1-2) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity (agape). (1 Cor. 13:13)
