|The word for "love" here is phileo, indicating a strong emotional affection. Contrary to what many commentators claim, phileo does NOT mean friendship (and is never used of mere "friendship" in the NT), but rather, is used of very strong FEELINGS of love, as contrasted with agapao, which emphasizes loving ACTIONS (although agapao and agape can include strong feelings as well).
