"Love (Agapao) not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love (Agapao) the world, the love (Agape) of the Father is not in him.
I'm not sure but I believe the difference between Agapao and Agape is the benevolence or out pouring of God's love to and through the believer.
We see that in Agape and the things and people of God is the object.
There's several words for Love in the Bible written in the Greek.
Here's just a few.
Phileo means friendly love while Eros denotes passionate, romantic love.
Ludus (playful love)
Pragma (enduring love)
Agape" is probably the Greek word for love we are most familiar with.
Agape represents unconditional, selfless love, This Love is described as "to be totally given over to something or someone".
I believe it depends on what Spirit you have in you.
Agape is a fruit of the Spirit that causes us to Love God, the things of God and the children of God.
When this benevolence is displayed by the Children of God "toward the children of God" it displays the true followers of Christ.
John 13:34-35 is one of the most relevant set of verses for us as Christians.
It's not a command but rather a statement of fact. ( You will love one another)
Verse 35 says "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples" This is caused by the Spirit of God in you!
I believe the Spirit of God directs this unconditional selfless love, to the things and people of God.
If a person have not the Spirit of God in them then John 3:19 is for them.
( And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved (Agapao) darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.)
1 John 2:15 reads, "Love (Agape) not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love (Agape) the world, the love (Agape) of the Father is not in him.

In the King James Bible, the word love is mentioned over 300 times. There are two types of love, human love (PHILEO) and Godly love (AGAPE). Human love is a type of love that is expressed by both believers and non-believers. Godly love can only be expressed by believers. This type of love in the bible is called AGAPE love, and it is a fruit of God's Spirit, meaning it is produced by God ( Galatians 5:22).
A person who has been born of God's Spirit expresses Godly love (AGAPE) because His Spirit in them produces this type of love. A human being cannot produce this type of love.
We also know from 1 John 4:8 that love is a person, and that person is God. AGAPE is a noun that is strictly associated with God Himself. He is love!
We see in the bible ( Matthew 22:37) where is says love the Lord thy God., and love thy neighbor, and this is the word AGAPE, not PHILEO, meaning it is not human love. The only way we are able to love the Lord thy God, and love our neighbor is if we have God's Spirit in us. He gives us the ability and capacity to do so. This type of love also causes us to have a deep concern for the spiritual wellbeing of others.
I meant 1 John 2:15 reads,
"Love (Agapao) not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love (Agapao) the world, the love (Agape) of the Father is not in him.
I'm not sure but I believe the difference between Agapao and Agape is the benevolence or out pouring of God's love to and through the believer.

Blessings.
