Philia is the love we feel for our friends, family, and things. It's a love that is dispassionate, that can be applied to animals as well as activities. This is the basic kind of love, that can be meant when one says, "Oh, I love that TV show."
Agape is the love of the spirit. It's the sort of love that arises from situation, and deep understanding between people. For the ancient greeks, this is the kind of love that warriors felt. It inspired them to sacrifice themselves for one another. It is also applied to religious love. For many people this is the highest form of love they will feel.
Eros is passionate love, but it is not limited to sexual passion. Eros is touched by the beauty within, which creates a longing. It is the force which inspires not only lovers, but philosophy as well. It is this love that envelopes you, and fills you with euphoria. Some people think this is what they feel when they first meet someone, but they are confusing it with mere desire.
All these loves can be applied to spouses, friends, and family, and is not limited to any one word.

Where can I find King James Version scriptures for agape love?
AnswerThe Greek language has different words for different types of love, including agape (unconditional love) and philia(brotherly love). An important scripture that refers to agape love is in John's Gospel, where Jesus implied that the other disciples gave him unconditional love when he asked Peter, "Do you love (agape) me more than these (the other disciples)?" Each time, Peter answered that he loved Jesus, but each time he was only able to offer brotherly love (philia). There is no direct equivalent to agape in the English language, so the KJV does not actually mention 'agape'.
How many types of love does the bible mention?
There are only three types of love mentioned in The Bible. 1. agape (unconditional love) 2. PHILEO 3. Storge (brotherly love or personal affection and it expects a return.) Jesus loves everyone with "agape" love, and He tells us to have "agape" love towards everyone. (It's pronounced A-gap-a') There are four kinds of love: agape, philia, storge, and eros. Agape -- unconditional love, God for mankind Philia -- Philiadepia, the city of brotherly love, or love that exists between close friends. Storge -- Love that grows between family members. Only three types are mentioned in the Bible Eros has no mention at all I guess God reasoned we could sort that one out ourselves! Eros; A special intimate love between just two people for life; not to be shared or thrown about as is the trend today. When people in love become intimate the are joined in not just a physical act but joined in spirit. Hence the quote "Joined in the flesh" You will become one body. When I was separated from my wife I was very conscious of being torn in two, half of me was missing! That pain even after many years still lingers
