>> "Nor is agapé ever translated charity." << . Really? ἀγάπη, Strong's G-26 (agapē), is rarely translated as anything else. Is 1corinthians 13 in your Bible? .

[CynicalBear]

Yeah, let’s look at Strong’s. (beloved (1), love (1), love (112), love feasts (1), love's (1).)

http://biblehub.com/greek/26.htm Original Word: ἀγάπη, ης, ἡ
Transliteration: agape
Definition: love, benevolence, good will, esteem; plur: love-feasts.

Or perhaps Thayer’s? (http://biblehub.com/thayers/26.htm)

affection, good-will, love, benevolence:

Interesting that agape is in every case given the definition of love. Only in the King James is charity used. Wonder why the King would have wanted charity to be inserted?
