The word “eros” simply refers to types of passionate or carnal love. Neither this word, nor any other form of it, is used in the [[New Testament]]. It is, however, used in the [[Septuagint]] in Proverbs 7:18 and 30:16. (The translation in the Hebrew is different in Proverbs 30:16. A comparison of a translation of the Septuagint passage provides the meaning.) Both passages of Proverbs 7:18 and 30:16 indicate carnal/fleshly appetites. Still, it is a mistake to think the New Testament says nothing about various forms of ''eros'', both good and bad. See for example:
