To Love
ἀγαπάω, and not φιλέω, is the word used of God's love to men, φιλανθρωπία is, however, once used with this meaning, Titus 3:4. ἀγαπάω is also the word ordinarily used of men's love to God, but φιλέω is once so used, 1 Corinthians 16:22. ἀγαπάω is the word used of love to one's enemies. The interchange of the words in John 21:15-17 is very interesting and instructive.
