But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love (agapēn | ἀγάπην | acc sg fem) with which he loved us,

For this reason, having heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and the love (agapēn | ἀγάπην | acc sg fem) you extend to all the saints,

even as he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless before him. In love (agapē | ἀγάπῃ | dat sg fem)

By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love (agapē | ἀγάπη | nom sg fem), joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,

For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love (agapēs | ἀγάπης | gen sg fem) serve one another.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith expressing itself through love (agapēs | ἀγάπης | gen sg fem).

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love (agapē | ἀγάπη | nom sg fem) of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Finally, brothers, rejoice, strive for maturity, take courage, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love (agapēs | ἀγάπης | gen sg fem) and peace will be with you.

Therefore show them openly before the churches the proof of your love (agapēs | ἀγάπης | gen sg fem) and the reason for our pride in you.

I am not saying this as an order, but as a way of testing the genuineness of your love (agapēs | ἀγάπης | gen sg fem) by comparison with the eagerness of others.
