Strong's Lexicon agapétos: Beloved, dearly loved Original Word: ἀγαπητός Word Origin: Derived from ἀγαπάω (agapaō), meaning "to love." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of beloved is יָדִיד (yadid), which also conveys the idea of being dearly loved or cherished. Usage: The term "agapétos" is used in the New Testament to denote someone who is dearly loved or cherished. It is often used to describe the deep, unconditional love that God has for His people, as well as the love that believers are to have for one another. This word emphasizes a love that is selfless, sacrificial, and rooted in the will rather than emotion. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of love was multifaceted, with different Greek words used to describe various types of love, such as eros (romantic love), philia (friendship), and storge (familial love). Agapétos, derived from agape, represents a higher, more divine form of love that was revolutionary in the early Christian context. This love is characterized by its selflessness and commitment, reflecting the nature of God's love for humanity. HELPS Word-studies 27 agapētós (a verbal adjective, derived from 26 /agápē, "love") – properly, divinely-loved; beloved ("loved by God"), i.e. personally experiencing God's "agapē-love." K. Wuest helpfully translates 27 (agapētós) as "divinely-loved-ones" (Jude 17). Jude 3: "Divinely-loved-ones (27 /agapētós), while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I had [a sense of] necessity to write to you, exhorting [you] to constantly, appropriately contend for the-once-delivered-for the saints-faith."
