Matthew 22:39
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
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.
