ÏÎ¹Î»Î¿ÏÎ¿ÏÎ¯Î±, ÏÎ¹Î»Î¿ÏÎ¿ÏÎ¯Î±Ï, á¼¡ (from ÏÎ¹Î»ÏÏÎ¿ÏÎ¿Ï), properly, love (and pursuit) of wisdom; used in the Greek writings of either zeal for or skill in any art or science, any branch of knowledge, see Passow, under the word (cf. Liddell and Scott, under the word).
Newer translations use the word love instead. The Greek word at issue is Î±Î³Î±ÏÎ· (agapeÌ). Thayer defines this word as brotherly love, affection, good will, love, benevolence (Thayer's Greek Definitions). The definition of âcharityâ is benevolent goodwill toward or love of humanity (Merriam-Webster). The English word charity comes from the Latin caritas, which means Christian love as opposed to sexual love (Online Etymological Dictionary).
