Let me just think.

I Googled how many love songs have been written, and it's tens of millions, right?

It said well over 100 million.

The exact number is not known.

What is love?

Trying to define in a search for love.

And so I think what the Bible captures only –

In all of society, in all the hundred million songs about love, the Bible is the only place that captures what love is, which is fascinating to me.

And so I looked up, you know what I found fascinating in this little rabbit hole search?

Because we're going to talk about love, because how many times is the word agape love used?

used in 1 John, in this little section that we're at.

You know what I found fascinating?

I'd never heard of Philo until I was doing my research on this, and then Zach starts quoting him.

You know what I found fascinating?

I forgot where I heard this.

I wish I could give credit to this, because I thought this was fascinating.

So the Greek poets and philosophers said,

very rarely use the word agape or agapo, you know, the verb of it.

Agapeo, I think, is the verb.

They can't find the writings.
