REf # 18: Agape = "divine love?" Must be time for me to get a new Greek dictionary.

From DICTIONARY.COM:

a*ga*pe2 (ä-gäp, äg-p) n.

1. Christianity. Love as revealed in Jesus, seen as spiritual and selfless and a model for humanity.

2. Love that is spiritual, not sexual, in its nature.

3. Christianity. In the early Christian Church, the love feast accompanied by Eucharistic celebration.

Your confusion on the matter is revealing. What did you think it meant?
