'''Love ''' is a word that is hard to define. In [[First Corinthians]] we are told that love is patient and love is kind; that it does not envy, or boast and isn't proud; love isn't rude or self-seeking or easily angered; it doesn't keep a record of wrongs; love always protects, it always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres; it never fails. [[God]] has a character of complete love and he calls us to love like he does. ==Main article==

====[[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]].
