There are actually many words for 'love' in Biblical Greek Philia - means 'friendship' - the love between two friends. The love between two members of the family and so on. Eros - Sexual love - between man and woman. It can also mean a deeper love (not necessarily sexual) between two people Agape - A self-sacrificing deep concern and compassion for another person - whether friend or enemy. This was the Greek word that the New Testament uses when Jesus says 'Love one another as I have loved you'.... 'Love your enemies' ... 'Love your neighbour as yourself'. Storge - an affection - like the love between mother and child. Rarely used in Biblical texts (philia used instead) Thelema - a desire - eg to do a particular thing. Again rarely used in Biblical texts.
There are two words for 'love' in the Greek - 'filio' or brotherly love, the love of mankind; and 'Agape' or Godly love. An interesting exchange between the risen Jesus and Peter uses both of these terms:
John 21:15-17New King James Version (NKJV) Jesus Restores Peter15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?"He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."
He said to him, "Feed My lambs."
16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?"
He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."
He said to him, "Tend My sheep."
17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?"
And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You."
Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.
When Jesus is using the term 'love' it is the Greek 'Agape' in the first two cases and 'filio' in the 3rd and last time. When Peter replies and uses the term 'love' it is the Greek 'filio' in all 3 times. Lambs are those called but not yet converted while sheep are those members of the Church of God.
