At <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/34/0" data-bid="35-1" class="b">1Jo 4:8</a>, the noun <em>a·gaʹpe</em> is used in the phrase “God is love,” and the Scriptures use God as the paramount example of unselfish love guided by principle. God’s love is expressed thoughtfully and actively. It involves commitment and actions, not just emotions and feelings. Humans who show such love do so as a deliberate choice in imitation of God. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/35/0" data-bid="36-1" class="b">Eph 5:1</a>) That is why humans can be commanded to show love, as in the two greatest commandments, referred to in this context. Jesus is here quoting from <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/36/0" data-bid="37-1" class="b">De 6:5</a>. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the Hebrew verb <em>ʼa·hevʹ</em> or <em>ʼa·havʹ</em> (to love) and the noun <em>ʼa·havahʹ</em> (love) are the words primarily used to denote love. They convey a range of meanings similar to that of the Greek words mentioned above. In connection with loving Jehovah, these words express a person’s desire to be completely devoted to God and to serve him exclusively. Jesus perfectly demonstrated this kind of love. He showed that love of God requires more than feeling affection for Jehovah. It governs a person’s whole life, influencing all his thoughts, words, and actions.—See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/19/0">study note on Joh 3:16</a>.</p> <p id="p42" data-pid="42" class="s5"><strong>Jehovah:</strong> In this quote from <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/37/0" data-bid="38-1" class="b">De 6:5</a>, the divine name, represented by four Hebrew consonants (transliterated <em>YHWH</em>), occurs in the original Hebrew text.—See <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/3">App. C</a>.</p> <p id="p43" data-pid="43" class="s5"><strong>heart:</strong> When used in a figurative sense, this term generally refers to the total inner person. When mentioned together with “soul” and “mind,” however, it evidently takes on a more specific meaning and refers mainly to a person’s emotions, desires, and feelings.

First, although ancient Hebrew did not have a specific word for “mind,” this concept was often included in the Hebrew word for “heart.” This term when used figuratively refers to the whole inner person, including a person’s thinking, feelings, attitudes, and motivations. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/40/0" data-bid="41-1" class="b">De 29:4;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/40/1" data-bid="41-2" class="b"> Ps 26:2;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/40/2" data-bid="41-3" class="b"> 64:6</a>; see study note on <strong>heart</strong> in this verse.) For this reason, where the Hebrew text uses the word “heart,” the Greek <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/21/0"><em>Septuagint</em></a> often uses the Greek equivalent for “mind.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/41/0" data-bid="42-1" class="b">Ge 8:21;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/41/1" data-bid="42-2" class="b"> 17:17;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/41/2" data-bid="42-3" class="b"> Pr 2:10;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/41/3" data-bid="42-4" class="b"> Isa 14:13</a>) Another reason why Matthew may have used the Greek word for “mind” instead of “strength” when quoting <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/42/0" data-bid="43-1" class="b">De 6:5</a> is that the Hebrew word rendered “strength [or, “vital force,” ftn.]” could include both physical strength and mental or intellectual ability. Whatever the case, this overlapping of ideas between the Hebrew and Greek terms may help to explain why when quoting Deuteronomy the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/22/0">Gospel</a> writers do not use the same exact wording.—See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/23/0">study notes on Mr 12:30;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070622/24/0"> Lu 10:27</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div
