Love is something that people have been trying to define for years. In the dictionary way of defining love, it says that it is a very strong affection that depends on your relaitonship with someone. The biblical definition however compares love to other adjectives like kindness and patientness. The biblical definition also says what love doesn't involve, like envying and boasting.
These definitions are different because in the dictionary definition it is showing what it is to your relaitionships. But, in the biblical definition it does not matter what relaitionship you have with someone. This type of love in the dictionary can even apply to the love you share with your friends. Also, the biblical definition shows what love isn't is while the dictionary definition does not.
I favor the biblical definition because I like how it does not matter what kind of relaitionship you have with the person you love. Also, I like how it tells you what not to do if you love someone. This is why I favor the bibles definition of love.
