From
G5384; to
be a friend to (
fond of [an individual or an object]), that is,
have affection for (denoting
personal attachment, as a matter of sentiment or feeling; while
G0025 is wider, embracing especially the judgment and the
deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty and propriety: the two thus stand related very much as
G2309 and
G1014, or as
G2372 and
G3563 respectively; the former being chiefly of the
heart and the latter of the
head); specifically to
kiss (as a mark of tenderness):—kiss, love.
