~~===Love in Koine Greek===~~

In the [[New Testament]], the word [[love]] has been translated from three different [[Koine Greek]] words: [[philia]], [[agape]] and [[storge]]. It is interesting to note the usage of these four words. All four have their positive qualities. All four are needed in human experience.

Love is the fundamental essence of God. [[1 John 4:8]] says

: ~~He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.~~ {{1 John|4|8}} (agape)

===[[Philia]]===
