But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body is more drest then the soule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49807]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body is more drest then the soule.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the most part fraud in the end secures for its companions repentance and shame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16646]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the most part fraud in the end secures for its companions repentance and shame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25292]]></link><description><![CDATA[A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wants Texas back. (when asked what terms Mexican-born pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela might settle for in his upcoming contract ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57631]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wants Texas back. (when asked what terms Mexican-born pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela might settle for in his upcoming contract negotiations)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11419]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36958]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primitive Christians were accustomed to speak, in a language which was older than Christianity, of being "in the Spirit" ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primitive Christians were accustomed to speak, in a language which was older than Christianity, of being "in the Spirit" -- as though Spirit were an ethereal atmosphere surrounding the soul, and breathed in as the body breathes in the air. Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have a religion, I have a relationship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29433]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have a religion, I have a relationship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aster greets us as we pass With her faint smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3387]]></link><description><![CDATA[The aster greets us as we pass With her faint smile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5392]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease.
