Agape is a Greek word that means love. In Ancient Greek texts it often refers to a general affection or concern, rather than the physical attraction suggested by eros. The verb appears in the New Testament describing, amongst other things, the relationship between Jesus and the beloved disciple.
It is a first declension feminine noun.
