  1. 1 Corinthians 8:1

    Περὶ δὲ τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων, οἴδαμεν ὅτι πάντες γνῶσιν ἔχομεν. ἡ γνῶσις φυσιοῖ, ἡ δὲ ἀγάπη οἰκοδομεῖ.

    Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

    Aangaande nu de dingen, die den afgoden geofferd zijn, wij weten, dat wij allen te zamen kennis hebben. De kennis maakt opgeblazen, maar de liefde sticht.

  2. 1 Corinthians 13:1

    Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον.

    Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

    Al ware het, dat ik de talen der mensen en der engelen sprak, en de liefde niet had, zo ware ik een klinkend metaal, of luidende schel geworden.

  3. 1 Corinthians 13:2

    καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν, καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι.

    And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

    En al ware het dat ik de gave der profetie had, en wist al de verborgenheden en al de wetenschap; en al ware het, dat ik al het geloof had, zodat ik bergen verzette, en de liefde niet had, zo ware ik niets.

  4. 1 Corinthians 13:3

    κἂν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου, καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα καυθήσωμαι ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.

    And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

    En al ware het, dat ik al mijn goederen tot onderhoud der armen uitdeelde, en al ware het, dat ik mijn lichaam overgaf, opdat ik verbrand zou worden, en had de liefde niet, zo zou het mij geen nuttigheid geven.

  5. 1 Corinthians 13:4

    Ἡ ἀγάπη μακροθυμεῖ, χρηστεύεται, ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ ζηλοῖ, ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ περπερεύεται, οὐ φυσιοῦται,

    Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

    De liefde is lankmoedig, zij is goedertieren; de liefde is niet afgunstig; de liefde handelt niet lichtvaardiglijk, zij is niet opgeblazen;

  6. 1 Corinthians 13:8

    ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε ἐκπίπτει Εἴτε δὲ προφητεῖαι, καταργηθήσονται· εἴτε γλῶσσαι, παύσονται· εἴτε γνῶσις, καταργηθήσεται.

    Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

    De liefde vergaat nimmermeer; maar hetzij profetieen, zij zullen te niet gedaan worden; hetzij talen, zij zullen ophouden; hetzij kennis, zij zal te niet gedaan worden.

  7. 1 Corinthians 13:13

    Νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις, ἐλπίς, ἀγάπη, τὰ τρία ταῦτα· μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη.

    And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    En nu blijft geloof, hoop en liefde, deze drie; doch de meeste van deze is de liefde.

  8. 1 Corinthians 14:1

    Διώκετε τὴν ἀγάπην· ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ πνευματικά, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε.

    Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

    Jaagt de liefde na, en ijvert om de geestelijke gaven, maar meest, dat gij moogt profeteren.

  9. 1 Corinthians 16:14

    πάντα ὑμῶν ἐν ἀγάπῃ γινέσθω.

    Let all your things be done with charity.

    Dat al uw dingen in de liefde geschieden.

  10. Colossians 3:14

    ἐπὶ πᾶσιν δὲ τούτοις τὴν ἀγάπην, ἥτις ἐστιν σύνδεσμος τῆς τελειότητος.

    And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

    En boven dit alles doet aan de liefde, dewelke is de band der volmaaktheid.

  11. 1 Thessalonians 3:6

    ἄρτι δὲ ἐλθόντος Τιμοθέου πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ εὐαγγελισαμένου ἡμῖν τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην ὑμῶν καὶ ὅτι ἔχετε μνείαν ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴν πάντοτε ἐπιποθοῦντες ἡμᾶς ἰδεῖν καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς,

    But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

    Maar als Timotheus nu van ulieden tot ons gekomen was, en ons de goede boodschap gebracht had van uw geloof en liefde, en dat gij altijd goede gedachtenis van ons hebt, zeer begerig zijnde om ons te zien, gelijk wij ook om ulieden;

  12. 2 Thessalonians 1:3

    Εὐχαριστεῖν ὀφείλομεν τῷ θεῷ πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί, καθὼς ἄξιόν ἐστιν, ὅτι ὑπεραυξάνει ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν καὶ πλεονάζει ἡ ἀγάπη ἑνὸς ἑκάστου πάντων ὑμῶν εἰς ἀλλήλους·

    We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

    Wij moeten God te allen tijd danken over u, broeders, gelijk billijk is, omdat uw geloof zeer wast, en dat de liefde eens iegelijken van u allen jegens elkander overvloedig wordt;

  13. 1 Timothy 1:5

    τὸ δὲ τέλος τῆς παραγγελίας ἐστὶν ἀγάπη ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας καὶ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς καὶ πίστεως ἀνυποκρίτου,

    Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

    Maar het einde des gebods is liefde uit een rein hart, en uit een goed geweten, en uit een ongeveinsd geloof.

  14. 1 Timothy 2:15

    σωθήσεται δὲ διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας ἐὰν μείνωσιν ἐν πίστει καὶ ἀγάπῃ καὶ ἁγιασμῷ μετὰ σωφροσύνης.

    Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

    Doch zij zal zalig worden in kinderen te baren, zo zij blijft in het geloof, en liefde, en heiligmaking, met matigheid.

  15. 1 Timothy 4:12

    μηδείς σου τῆς νεότητος καταφρονείτω, ἀλλὰ τύπος γίνου τῶν πιστῶν, ἐν λόγῳ, ἐν ἀναστροφῇ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐν πνεύματι, ἐν πίστει, ἐν ἁγνείᾳ.

    Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

    Niemand verachte uw jonkheid, maar zijt een voorbeeld der gelovigen in woord, in wandel, in liefde, in den geest, in geloof, in reinheid.

  16. 2 Timothy 2:22

    Τὰς δὲ νεωτερικὰς ἐπιθυμίας φεῦγε, δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, εἰρήνην μετὰ τῶν ἐπικαλουμένων τὸν κύριον ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας.

    Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

    Maar vlied de begeerlijkheden der jonkheid; en jaag naar rechtvaardigheid, geloof, liefde, vrede, met degenen, die den Heere aanroepen uit een rein hart.

  17. 2 Timothy 3:10

    Σὺ δὲ παρηκολούθηκάς μου τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ, τῇ ἀγωγῇ, τῇ προθέσει, τῇ πίστει, τῇ μακροθυμίᾳ, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ,

    But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

    Maar gij hebt achtervolgd mijn leer, wijze van doen, voornemen, geloof, lankmoedigheid, liefde, lijdzaamheid.

  18. Titus 2:2

    Πρεσβύτας νηφαλίους εἶναι, σεμνούς, σώφρονας, ὑγιαίνοντας τῇ πίστει, τῇ ἀγάπῃ, τῇ ὑπομονῇ.

    That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

    Dat de oude mannen nuchter zijn, stemmig, voorzichtig, gezond in het geloof, in de liefde, in de lijdzaamheid.

  19. 1 Peter 4:8

    πρὸ πάντων δὲ τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες, ὅτι ἀγάπη καλύψει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν.

    And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

    Maar vooral hebt vurige liefde tot elkander; want de liefde zal menigte van zonden bedekken.

  20. 1 Peter 5:14

    ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. ἀμήν.

    Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

    Groet elkander met een kus der liefde. Vrede zij u allen, die in Christus Jezus zijt. Amen.

  21. 2 Peter 1:7

    ἐν δὲ τῇ εὐσεβείᾳ τὴν φιλαδελφίαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ τὴν ἀγάπην.

    And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

    En bij de godzaligheid broederlijke liefde, en bij de broederlijke liefde, liefde jegens allen.

  22. 3 John 1:6

    οἳ ἐμαρτύρησάν σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐνώπιον ἐκκλησίας, οὓς καλῶς ποιήσεις προπέμψας ἀξίως τοῦ θεοῦ.

    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:

    Die getuigd hebben van uw liefde, in de tegenwoordigheid der Gemeente; welken indien gij geleide doet, gelijk het Gode waardig is, zo zult gij weldoen.

  23. Jude 1:12

    Οὗτοί εἰσιν ἐν ταῖς ἀγάπαις ὑμῶν σπιλάδες, συνευωχούμενοι, ἀφόβως ἑαυτοὺς ποιμαίνοντες· νεφέλαι ἄνυδροι, ὑπὸ ἀνέμων περιφερόμεναι δένδρα φθινοπωρινὰ ἄκαρπα, δὶς ἀποθανόντα, ἐκριζωθέντα·

    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;

    Dezen zijn vlekken in uw liefdemaaltijden, en als zij met u ter maaltijd zijn, weiden zij zichzelven zonder vreze; zij zijn waterloze wolken, die van de winden omgedreven worden; zij zijn als bomen in het afgaan van de herfst, onvruchtbaar, tweemaal verstorven, en ontworteld;

  24. Revelation 2:19

    οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν διακονίαν καὶ τὴν ὑπομονήν σου καὶ τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ τὰ ἔσχατα πλείονα τῶν πρώτων.

    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.

    Ik weet uw werken, en liefde, en dienst, en geloof, en uw lijdzaamheid, en uw werken, en dat de laatste meer zijn dan de eerste.

Lexicon

ἀγάπη, -ης, ἡ
[in LXX for אַהֲבָה, which is also rendered by ἀγάπησις and φιλία ;]
love, goodwill, esteem. Outside of bibl. and eccl. books, there is no clear instance (with Deiss., LAE, 18:4, 70:2, cf. the same writer in Constr. Quar., ii, 4; and with MM, VGT, see word, cf. Dr. Moulton in Exp. Times, xxvi, 3, 139). In NT, like ἀγαπάω, -ῶ,
__1. Of men's love:
__(a) to one another, Jhn.13:35;
__(b) to God, 1Jn.2:5.
__2. Of divine love;
__(a) God's love: to men, Rom.5:8; to Christ, Jhn.17:26;
__(b) Christ's love to men: Rom.8:35.
__3. In pl., love feasts: Ju 12 (DB, iii, 157).
SYN.: φιλία. ἀ., signifying properly (see: ἀγαπάω) love which chooses its object, is taken over from LXX, where its connotation is more general, into NT, and there used exclusively to express that spiritual bond of love between God and man and between man and man, in Christ, which is characteristic of Christianity. It is thusdistinct from φιλία, friendship (Jas.4:4 only), στοργή, natural affection (in NT only in compounds, see: ἄστοργος) and ἔρως, sexual love, which is not used in NT, its place being taken by ἐπιθυμία. (Cf. ἀγαπάω; and see Abbott, Essays, 70f.; DB, vol. i., 555; Cremer, 13, 593; MM, VGT, see word). (AS)
