into use in greek.
G'day Robert. Using BibleWorks, I find that AGAPAW occurs 283 times in the
LXX, and AGAPH only occurs 19 times. Interestingly, one of them is for
Amnon's love for Tamar [the sister he raped!]
And AGAPH is never used of God's love in the LXX. It is used most frequently
[surprise, surprise] in the Song of Songs.
