Agapao and Phileo
C. Swindoll, Growing Strong, pp. 67-8
There is not much difference lexically between agapao and phileo. Both involve a voluntary (I've decided to love you) and involuntary (I can't help but love you) response.
One point: there is no command to love in scripture that ever uses phileo.
