1 John 4:8 says, "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

In the Greek, that word for "love" is "agape." Agape is a term that means selfless love, unconditional love, self-sacrificing love.

The same word, agape, is translated as "love" in John 3:16, Matthew 5:43-46, Matthew 22:37-40, and many other places in scripture. In some places it is also translated as "charity" (1 Corinthians 13:1-8).
