ἀγάπη

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:

Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
