'''Eros:''' The sense of being in love; romantic love; also the love of pleasant things that provide sensual enjoyment<ref>The [[Natural history|naturalist's]] love of [[nature]] and the [[aesthetics|esthetic]] beauty of the material creation for its own sake is a form of ''eros'' for what God has made. In some cases [[wildlife]] [[Environmentalist|Preservationists]] and [[Conservation]]ists have shown themselves capable of agape for living things and the natural environment apart from any love for man or God. The Greeks believed that Eros was the innocently mischievous offspring of [[Aphrodite]] the goddess of beauty and venereal love who pierced mortals with love or hate. The Roman equivalent of [[Roman mythology|Eros was Cupid]], the root of cupidity, the love of the good life, and in particular love of things one would like to have and enjoy for their own sake and sometimes to display proudly. Modern culture has debased the classic idea of erotic love and appreciation of pleasant things into the narrow sensual depravity of erotic bodily lust alone and the debased addictive cravings generated by ''porneia'' (pornographic pleasure) and "recreational" drugs; not only lust but other things—overeating, gambling, violence, speed, personal indulgence in any one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]. Willingness to sacrifice and die for such things is not agape-love.</ref>

In the [[Greek language|Koine Greek]] texts of the New Testament, the word agape is used in many places to refer to the love of God, the love of Christ and the living love of the Holy Spirit that unites all men in brotherhood. Most references to it are in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13,<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Corinthians|13:1-13|ESV}}</ref> where it is referred to as a form of compassion which is unconditional and voluntary; that is, it does not discriminate, is not conditioned by any outside forces, and is something that one decides to do, without thought of personal reward.
