  1. Luke 11:42

    Ἀλλ᾽ οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον καὶ τὸ πήγανον καὶ πᾶν λάχανον καὶ παρέρχεσθε τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ· ταῦτα ἔδει ποιῆσαι, κἀκεῖνα μὴ ἀφιέναι

    But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

    Maar wee u, Farizeen, want gij vertient munte, en ruite, en alle moeskruid, en gij gaat voorbij het oordeel en de liefde Gods. Dit moest men doen, en het andere niet nalaten.

  2. John 5:42

    ἀλλ᾽ ἔγνωκα ὑμᾶς ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.

    But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

    Maar Ik ken ulieden, dat gij de liefde Gods in uzelven niet hebt.

  3. John 13:35

    ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε, ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.

    By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

    Hieraan zullen zij allen bekennen, dat gij Mijn discipelen zijt, zo gij liefde hebt onder elkander.

  4. John 15:13

    μείζονα ταύτης ἀγάπην οὐδεὶς ἔχει ἵνα τις τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ θῇ ὑπὲρ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ.

    Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

    Niemand heeft meerder liefde dan deze, dat iemand zijn leven zette voor zijn vrienden.

  5. Romans 5:8

    συνίστησιν δὲ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀγάπην εἰς ἡμᾶς ὁ θεός, ὅτι ἔτι ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄντων ἡμῶν Χριστὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀπέθανεν.

    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    Maar God bevestigt Zijn liefde jegens ons, dat Christus voor ons gestorven is, als wij nog zondaars waren.

  6. Romans 14:15

    εἰ δὲ διὰ βρῶμα ὁ ἀδελφός σου λυπεῖται, οὐκέτι κατὰ ἀγάπην περιπατεῖς. μὴ τῷ βρώματί σου ἐκεῖνον ἀπόλλυε ὑπὲρ οὗ Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν.

    But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

    Maar indien uw broeder om der spijze wil bedroefd wordt, zo wandelt gij niet meer naar liefde. Verderf dien niet met uw spijze, voor welken Christus gestorven is.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 2 Corinthians 2:4

    ἐκ γὰρ πολλῆς θλίψεως καὶ συνοχῆς καρδίας ἔγραψα ὑμῖν διὰ πολλῶν δακρύων, οὐχ ἵνα λυπηθῆτε, ἀλλὰ τὴν ἀγάπην ἵνα γνῶτε ἣν ἔχω περισσοτέρως εἰς ὑμᾶς.

    For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

    Want ik heb ulieden uit vele verdrukking en benauwdheid des harten, met vele tranen geschreven, niet opdat gij zoudt bedroefd worden, maar opdat gij de liefde zoudt verstaan, die ik overvloediglijk tot u heb.

  12. 2 Corinthians 2:8

    διὸ παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς κυρῶσαι εἰς αὐτὸν ἀγάπην.

    Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

    Daarom bid ik u, dat gij de liefde aan hem bevestigt.

  13. Ephesians 1:15

    Διὰ τοῦτο κἀγὼ ἀκούσας τὴν καθ᾽ ὑμᾶς πίστιν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τὴν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους

    Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

    Daarom ook ik, gehoord hebbende het geloof in den Heere Jezus, dat onder u is, en de liefde tot al de heiligen,

  14. Ephesians 2:4

    Ὁ δὲ θεὸς πλούσιος ὢν ἐν ἐλέει διὰ τὴν πολλὴν ἀγάπην αὐτοῦ ἣν ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς,

    But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

    Maar God, Die rijk is in barmhartigheid door Zijn grote liefde, waarmede Hij ons liefgehad heeft,

  15. Ephesians 3:19

    γνῶναί τε τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν τῆς γνώσεως ἀγάπην τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα πληρωθῆτε εἰς πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ θεοῦ.

    And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

    En bekennen de liefde van Christus, die de kennis te boven gaat, opdat gij vervuld wordt tot al de volheid Gods.

  16. Philippians 2:2

    πληρώσατέ μου τὴν χαρὰν ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ φρονῆτε, τὴν αὐτὴν ἀγάπην ἔχοντες, σύμψυχοι, τὸ ἓν φρονοῦντες,

    Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

    Zo vervult mijn blijdschap, dat gij moogt eensgezind zijn, dezelfde liefde hebbende, van een gemoed en van een gevoelen zijnde.

  17. Colossians 1:4

    ἀκούσαντες τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τὴν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,

    Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

    Alzo wij van uw geloof in Christus Jezus gehoord hebben, en van de liefde, die gij hebt tot alle heiligen.

  18. Colossians 1:8

    ὁ καὶ δηλώσας ἡμῖν τὴν ὑμῶν ἀγάπην ἐν πνεύματι.

    Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

    Die ons ook verklaard heeft uw liefde in den Geest.

  19. 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.

  20. 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;

  21. 2 Thessalonians 2:10

    καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ἀπάτῃ τῆς ἀδικίας ἐν τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν τὴν ἀγάπην τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκ ἐδέξαντο εἰς τὸ σωθῆναι αὐτούς·

    And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

    En in alle verleiding der onrechtvaardigheid in degenen, die verloren gaan; daarvoor dat zij de liefde der waarheid niet aangenomen hebben, om zalig te worden.

  22. 2 Thessalonians 3:5

    ὁ δὲ κύριος κατευθύναι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας εἰς τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἰς τὴν ὑπομονὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ.

    And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

    Doch de Heere richte uw harten tot de liefde van God, en tot de lijdzaamheid van Christus.

  23. 1 Timothy 6:11

    Σὺ δέ, ὦ ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ, ταῦτα φεῦγε, δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονήν, πρᾳότητα

    But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

    Maar gij, o mens Gods, vlied deze dingen; en jaag naar gerechtigheid, godzaligheid, geloof, liefde, lijdzaamheid, zachtmoedigheid.

  24. 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.

  25. Philemon 1:5

    ἀκούων σου τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἣν ἔχεις πρὸς τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,

    Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

    Alzo ik hoor uw liefde en geloof, hetwelk gij hebt aan den Heere Jezus, en jegens al de heiligen;

  26. Philemon 1:9

    διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην μᾶλλον παρακαλῶ, τοιοῦτος ὢν ὡς Παῦλος πρεσβύτης νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ·

    Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

    Zo bid ik nochtans liever door de liefde, daar ik zodanig een ben, te weten Paulus, een oud man, en nu ook een gevangene van Jezus Christus.

  27. 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.

  28. 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.

  29. 1 John 3:1

    ἴδετε ποταπὴν ἀγάπην δέδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ πατήρ, ἵνα τέκνα θεοῦ κληθῶμεν διὰ τοῦτο ὁ κόσμος οὐ γινώσκει ἡμᾶς, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτόν.

    Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

    Ziet, hoe grote liefde ons de Vader gegeven heeft, namelijk dat wij kinderen Gods genaamd zouden worden. Daarom kent ons de wereld niet, omdat zij Hem niet kent.

  30. 1 John 3:16

    ἐν τούτῳ ἐγνώκαμεν τὴν ἀγάπην ὅτι ἐκεῖνος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἔθηκεν· καὶ ἡμεῖς ὀφείλομεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν τὰς ψυχὰς τιθέναι

    Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

    Hieraan hebben wij de liefde gekend, dat Hij Zijn leven voor ons gesteld heeft; en wij zijn schuldig voor de broeders het leven te stellen.

  31. 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.

  32. Revelation 2:4

    ἀλλ᾽ ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὅτι τὴν ἀγάπην σου τὴν πρώτην ἀφῆκες.

    Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

    Maar Ik heb tegen u, dat gij uw eerste liefde hebt verlaten.

  33. 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)
