A question from a novice!

Hi,
I have a question on the definition of AGAPH:  What distinguishes this word
from other Greek words meaning love?  From its usage in 1 John 3:16 and
elsewhere, I have always connected this word with self-sacrifice or self
denial.  However hardly any lexicons I have used seem to make this link.  Am
I correct in believing that AGAPH is self-denying love and this is what
distinguishes it from other Greek words for love?
