There are four Greek words for love:
- Eros ( érōs): Romantic love (in ancient Greek, desire).
-
Philia (φιλία philía): Love (but especially "platonic") (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.
- Storge (στοργή storgē) Natural affection.
