INSTRUCTIVE COMPARISONS #4
In reference to: LOVE
Romans 12:10... Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.
Romans 13:8... Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Galatians 5:13. For you , brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Verse 22... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness
Ephesians 4:1,2... I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with (putting up with) one another in love.
Ephesians 5:2. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God
1 Peter 1:22,23... Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born-again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.
All of the Greek words translated into the English word love come from either agapao or agape, with the exception of Romans 12:10 which is: philadelphia, from which the PA city was named, and called The city of brotherly love. However that may be, the point is that both Peter and Paul had the same knowledge of, and wrote (under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) identically on the subject of LOVE.
