Agapē (ἀγάπη):

Agapē is the most frequently used term for love in the New Testament and is often associated with the selfless, sacrificial love that God has for humanity. This form of love is unconditional and is characterized by a commitment to the well-being of others, regardless of circumstances. Agapē is the love that God commands believers to have for one another. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 , the Apostle Paul provides a profound description of agapē: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
