===Love in the Bible===
====[[Translating love]]====
In the New Testament, the word love has been translated from three different [[Koine Greek]] words: [[philia]], [[agape]] and [[storge]]. Philia is often used to describe the brotherly love of friendship. Agape' is often used to describe the love of choice of the mind - it is that is unconditional, and limitless, unbounded. And storge is often used for the the natural affection of families.
====Loving each other====
Jesus said that the second great commandment was that we love our neighbours as ourselves. The account is found in [[Luke 10]]:25-27 just before Jesus tells the story of [[The Good Samaritan]].

Later, in the [[Gospel of John]], Jesus says
: ''{{web_verseBible verse|johnJohn|15|13|lang=WEB}} '' ([[John 15:13]])
Jesus shows us this love when he lay down his life for us.
Perhaps the most famous Bible passage about love comes from [[1 Corinthians 13]]
