  1. Matthew 24:12

    καὶ διὰ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν.

    And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

    En omdat de ongerechtigheid vermenigvuldigd zal worden, zo zal de liefde van velen verkouden.

  2. John 17:26

    καὶ ἐγνώρισα αὐτοῖς τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ γνωρίσω, ἵνα ἡ ἀγάπη ἣν ἠγάπησάς με ἐν αὐτοῖς ᾖ κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτοῖς.

    And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

    En Ik heb hun Uw Naam bekend gemaakt, en zal Hem bekend maken; opdat de liefde, waarmede Gij Mij liefgehad hebt, in hen zij, en Ik in hen.

  3. Romans 5:5

    ἡ δὲ ἐλπὶς οὐ καταισχύνει, ὅτι ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκέχυται ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν διὰ πνεύματος ἁγίου τοῦ δοθέντος ἡμῖν.

    And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

    En de hoop beschaamt niet, omdat de liefde Gods in onze harten uitgestort is door den Heiligen Geest, Die ons is gegeven.

  4. Romans 12:9

    Ἡ ἀγάπη ἀνυπόκριτος. ἀποστυγοῦντες τὸ πονηρόν, κολλώμενοι τῷ ἀγαθῷ·

    Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

    De liefde zij ongeveinsd. Hebt een afkeer van het boze, en hangt het goede aan.

  5. Romans 13:10

    ἡ ἀγάπη τῷ πλησίον κακὸν οὐκ ἐργάζεται· πλήρωμα οὖν νόμου ἡ ἀγάπη.

    Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

    De liefde doet den naaste geen kwaad. Zo is dan de liefde de vervulling der wet.

  6. 1 Corinthians 16:24

    ἡ ἀγάπη μου μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. ἀμήν πρός Κορινθίους πρώτη ἐγράφη ἀπό Φιλίππων διά Στεφανᾶ καί φουρτουνάτου καί Ἀχαϊκοῦ καί Τιμοθέου.

    My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

    Mijn liefde zij met u allen in Christus Jezus. Amen.

  7. 2 Corinthians 5:14

    ἡ γὰρ ἀγάπη τοῦ Χριστοῦ συνέχει ἡμᾶς κρίναντας τοῦτο, ὅτι εἰ εἷς ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν· ἄρα οἱ πάντες ἀπέθανον.

    For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

    Want de liefde van Christus dringt ons;

  8. 2 Corinthians 13:14

    Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἡ κοινωνία τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν ἀμήν πρός Κορινθίους δευτέρᾳ ἐγράφη ἀπό Φιλίππων τῆς Μακεδονίας διά Τίτου καί Λουκᾶ.

    The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

    De genade van den Heere Jezus Christus, en de liefde van God, en de gemeenschap des Heiligen Geestes, zij met u allen. Amen.

  9. Galatians 5:22

    ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη, χαρά, εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία, χρηστότης, ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις,

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

    Maar de vrucht des Geestes is liefde, blijdschap, vrede, lankmoedigheid, goedertierenheid, goedheid, geloof, zachtmoedigheid, matigheid.

  10. Ephesians 6:23

    εἰρήνη τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καὶ ἀγάπη μετὰ πίστεως ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

    Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Vrede zij den broederen, en liefde met geloof, van God den Vader, en den Heere Jezus Christus.

  11. Philippians 1:9

    καὶ τοῦτο προσεύχομαι, ἵνα ἡ ἀγάπη ὑμῶν ἔτι μᾶλλον καὶ μᾶλλον περισσεύῃ ἐν ἐπιγνώσει καὶ πάσῃ αἰσθήσει

    And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

    En dit bid ik God, dat uw liefde nog meer en meer overvloedig worde in erkentenis en alle gevoelen;

  12. 1 John 2:5

    ὃς δ᾽ ἂν τηρῇ αὐτοῦ τὸν λόγον, ἀληθῶς ἐν τούτῳ ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ τετελείωται. ἐν τούτῳ γινώσκομεν ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐσμεν.

    But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

    Maar zo wie Zijn Woord bewaart, in dien is waarlijk de liefde Gods volmaakt geworden; hieraan kennen wij, dat wij in Hem zijn.

  13. 1 John 2:15

    Μὴ ἀγαπᾶτε τὸν κόσμον μηδὲ τὰ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ. ἐάν τις ἀγαπᾷ τὸν κόσμον, οὐκ ἔστιν ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ πατρὸς ἐν αὐτῷ·

    Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

    Hebt de wereld niet lief, noch hetgeen in de wereld is; zo iemand de wereld liefheeft, de liefde des Vaders is niet in hem.

  14. 1 John 3:17

    Ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ἔχῃ τὸν βίον τοῦ κόσμου καὶ θεωρῇ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχοντα καὶ κλείσῃ τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, πῶς ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ μένει ἐν αὐτῷ;

    But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

    Zo wie nu het goed der wereld heeft, en ziet zijn broeder gebrek hebben, en sluit zijn hart toe voor hem, hoe blijft de liefde Gods in hem?

  15. 1 John 4:7

    Ἀγαπητοί, ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, ὅτι ἡ ἀγάπη ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀγαπῶν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ γεγέννηται καὶ γινώσκει τὸν θεόν·

    Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

    Geliefden! Laat ons elkander liefhebben, want de liefde is uit God; en een iegelijk, die liefheeft, is uit God geboren, en kent God;

  16. 1 John 4:8

    ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν θεόν, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν.

    He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

    Die niet liefheeft, die heeft God niet gekend; want God is liefde.

  17. 1 John 4:9

    ἐν τούτῳ ἐφανερώθη ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν, ὅτι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ ἀπέσταλκεν ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἵνα ζήσωμεν δι᾽ αὐτοῦ.

    In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

    Hierin is de liefde Gods jegens ons geopenbaard, dat God Zijn eniggeboren Zoon gezonden heeft in de wereld, opdat wij zouden leven door Hem.

  18. 1 John 4:10

    ἐν τούτῳ ἐστὶν ἡ ἀγάπη, οὐχ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἠγαπήσαμεν τὸν θεόν, ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἱλασμὸν περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν.

    Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

    Hierin is de liefde, niet dat wij God liefgehad hebben, maar dat Hij ons lief heeft gehad, en Zijn Zoon gezonden heeft tot een verzoening voor onze zonden.

  19. 1 John 4:12

    θεὸν οὐδεὶς πώποτε τεθέαται· ἐὰν ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους, ὁ θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν μένει καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν τετελειωμένη ἐστίν.

    No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

    Niemand heeft ooit God aanschouwd; indien wij elkander liefhebben, zo blijft God in ons, en Zijn liefde is in ons volmaakt.

  20. 1 John 4:16

    καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐγνώκαμεν καὶ πεπιστεύκαμεν τὴν ἀγάπην ἣν ἔχει ὁ θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν. ὁ θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν, καὶ ὁ μένων ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐν τῷ θεῷ μένει, καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἐν αὐτῷ

    And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

    En wij hebben gekend en geloofd de liefde, die God tot ons heeft. God is liefde; en die in de liefde blijft, blijft in God, en God in hem.

  21. 1 John 4:17

    ἐν τούτῳ τετελείωται ἡ ἀγάπη μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν, ἵνα παρρησίαν ἔχωμεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς κρίσεως, ὅτι καθὼς ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ.

    Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

    Hierin is de liefde bij ons volmaakt, opdat wij vrijmoedigheid mogen hebben in den dag des oordeels, namelijk dat gelijk Hij is, wij ook zijn in deze wereld.

  22. 1 John 4:18

    φόβος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ τελεία ἀγάπη ἔξω βάλλει τὸν φόβον, ὅτι ὁ φόβος κόλασιν ἔχει· ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος οὐ τετελείωται ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ.

    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.

    Er is in de liefde geen vrees, maar de volmaakte liefde drijft de vrees buiten; want de vrees heeft pijn, en die vreest, is niet volmaakt in de liefde.

  23. 1 John 5:3

    αὕτη γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ τηρῶμεν· καὶ αἱ ἐντολαὶ αὐτοῦ βαρεῖαι οὐκ εἰσίν.

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

    Want dit is de liefde Gods, dat wij Zijn geboden bewaren; en Zijn geboden zijn niet zwaar.

  24. 2 John 1:6

    καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἀγάπη ἵνα περιπατῶμεν κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ. αὕτη ἡ ἐντολή ἐστιν καθὼς ἠκούσατε ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῇ περιπατῆτε·

    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.

    En dit is de liefde, dat wij wandelen naar Zijn geboden. Dit is het gebod, gelijk gijlieden van den beginne gehoord hebt, dat gij in hetzelve zoudt wandelen.

  25. Jude 1:2

    ἔλεος ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ ἀγάπη πληθυνθείη.

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

    Barmhartigheid, en vrede, en liefde zij u vermenigvuldigd.

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)
