ἀγαπάω agapaō 143x

    to love, value, esteem, feel or manifest generous concern for, be faithful towards; to delight in, to set store upon, Rev 12:11 love.

G25 — ἀγαπάω

(ῶ; (imperfect ἠγάπων); future ἀγαπήσω; 1 aorist ἠγάπησα; perfect active (1 person plural ἠγαπήκαμεν, 1Jo 4:10 WH text), participle ἠγαπηκῶς (2Ti 4:8); passive (present ἀγαπῶμαι); perfect participle ἠγαπημένος; 1 future ἀγαπηθήσομαι; (akin to ἄγαμαι (Fick, Part 4:12; see ἀγαθός, at the beginning)); to love, to be full of good-will and exhibit the same: Luk 7:47; 1Jo 4:7f; with the accusative of the person, to have a preference for, wish well to, regard the welfare of: Mat 5:43ff; Mat 19:19; Luk 7:5; Joh 11:5; Rom 13:8; 2Co 11:11; 2Co 12:15; Gal 5:14; Eph 5:25, Eph 5:28; 1Pe 1:22, and elsewhere; used often in the First Epistle of John of the love of Christians toward one another; of the benevolence which God, in providing salvation for men, has exhibited by sending his Son to them and giving him up to death, Joh 3:16; Rom 8:37; 2Th 2:16; 1Jo 4:11, 1Jo 4:19; (noteworthy is Jude 1:1 L T Tr WH τοῖς ἐν Θεῷ πατρί ἠγαπημένοις; see ἐν, I. 4, and cf. Lightfoot on Col 3:12); of the love which led Christ, in procuring human salvation, to undergo sufferings and death, Gal 2:20; Eph 5:2; of the love with which God regards Christ, Joh 3:35; (v. L marginal reading); Joh 10:17; ; Eph 1:6. When used of love to a master, God or Christ, the word involves the idea of affectionate reverence, prompt obedience, grateful recognition of benefits received: Mat 6:24; Mat 22:37; Rom 8:28; 1Co 2:9; 1Co 8:3; Jam 1:12; 1Pe 1:8; 1Jo 4:10, 1Jo 4:20, and elsewhere. With an accusative of the thing ἀγαπάω denotes "to take pleasure in the thing, prize it above other things, be unwilling to abandon it or do without it": δικαιοσύνην, Heb 1:9 (i. e. steadfastly to cleave to); τήν δόξαν, Joh 12:43; τήν πρωτοκαθεδρίαν, Luk 11:43; τό σκότος; and τό φῶς, Joh 3:19; τόν κόσμον. 1Jo 2:15; τόν νῦν αἰῶνα, 2Ti 4:10, — both which last phrases signify to set the heart on earthly advantages and joys; τήν ψυχήν αὐτῶν, Rev 12:11; ζωήν, 1Pe 3:10 (to derive pleasure from life, render it agreeable to himself); to welcome with desire, long for: τήν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ, 2Ti 4:8 (Wis. 1:1 Wis. 6:13; Sir. 4:12, etc.; so of a person: ἠγαπήθη, Wis. 4:10, cf. Grimm at the passage). Concerning the unique proof of love which Jesus gave the apostles by washing their feet, it is said ἠγάπησεν αὐτούς, Joh 13:1, cf. Lücke or Meyer at the passage (but others take ἀγαπήσας here more comprehensively, see Weiss's Meyer, Godet, Westcott, Keil). The combination ἀγάπην ἀγαπᾶν τινα occurs, when a relative intervenes, in Joh 17:26; Eph 2:4 (2Sa 13:15 where τό μῖσος ὁ ἐμίσησεν αὐτήν is contrasted; cf. Gen 49:25 εὐλόγησε σε εὐλογίαν; Ps. Sal. Psalms of Solomon 17:35> (in manuscript Pseudepig. Vet. Test. edition Fabric. i., p. 966; Libri Apocr. etc., edition Fritzsche, p. 588) δόξαν ἥν ἐδόξασεν αὐτήν); cf. Winers Grammar, § 32, 2; (Buttmann, 148f (129)); Grimm on 1 Macc. 2:54. On the difference between ἀγαπάω and φιλέω, see φιλέω. Cf. ἀγάπη, 1 at the end

ἀγαπάω , - ῶ ,

[in LXX chiefly for H157;]

to love, to feel and exhibit esteem and goodwill to a person, to prize and delight in a thing.

1. Of human affection, to men: τ . πλησίον , Mat 5:43; τ . ἐχθρούς , Mat 5:44; to Christ, Joh 8:42; to God, Mat 22:37; c . acc rei , Luk 11:43, Joh 12:43 Eph 5:25, 2Ti 4:8 ; 2Ti 4:10, Heb 1:9, 1Pe 2:17, 1Pe 3:10, 2Pe 2:15, 1Jn 2:15, Rev 12:11.

2. Of divine love;

(a) God's love: to men, Rom 8:37; to Christ, Joh 3:35;

(b) Christ's love: to men, Mar 10:21; to God, Joh 14:31; c . cogn . acc , Joh 17:26, Eph 2:4.

SYN.: φιλέω G5368. From its supposed etymology ( Thayer , LS ; but v. also Boisacq ) ἀ . is commonly understood properly to denote love based on esteem (diligo), as distinct from that expressed by φιλέω (amo), spontaneous natural affection, emotional and unreasoning. If this distinction holds, a. is fitly used in NT of Christian love to God and man, the spiritual affection which follows the direction of the will, and which, therefore, unlike that feeling which is instinctive and unreasoned, can be commanded as a duty. ( Cf. ἀγάπη G26, and v . Tr ., 12; Cremer , 9, 592; and esp . MM , VGT , s.v. )

詞類次數：動詞（142）

原文字根：愛 相當於：H157（אָהַב‎）

字義溯源：愛*，喜愛，愛慕，彼此相愛，愛惜，親愛，蒙愛；或源自（G22（ἄγαμος）X=多*）。比較（G5368（φιλέω）=友愛，作朋友），而G5368（φιλέω）出自（G5384（φίλος）=親愛*）。參閱H5689（עָגַב‎）=愛慕。一般的說法，都以G25（ἀγαπάω）為神聖的愛，神人之間的愛；而G5368（φιλέω）為友誼的愛，親友之間的愛。但不能分得過於嚴謹，因為事實並非全是如此，就如在約翰福音廿一章記載主耶穌三次問彼得說，你愛我麼，頭二次用G25（ἀγαπάω）末一次卻用G5368（φιλέω）；而彼得的三次回答說，你知道我愛你，都是用G5368（φιλέω）。愛乃是神對世人和世界的關懷，由主耶穌完美的表達出來，至死不渝（約3:16; 17:23,24；弗5:2）。神也要蒙愛的人對他全心，全魂，全意的愛（太22:37）
