1 Corinthians 2:9
King James Version
11 Jun 2026
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
ἀγαπάω
Not the love of emotion or feeling — this is the love of will and choice. God did not love the world because it was loveable. He loved it because that is who He is. Agapao is love that gives everything without expecting anything back.
