There are three Greek words for love:

  • Eros (ἔρως érōs): Romantic love (in ancient greek, desire).
  • Philia (φιλία philía): Love (but especially platonic love) (in ancient greek, friendship).
  • Agape (ἀγάπη agápē): Divine, unconditioned love. Sometimes Christians will refer to the love that they receive from God as Agape Love.
