John 15:12
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”
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.
