Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
φιλαδελφία. In profane Greek and the LXX φιλαδελφία is confined to the love of those who are brothers by common descent, e.g. Luc. déal. deor. xxvi. 2, 4 Macc 13%3,26, 141, and cf. P Lond V. 1708! (a.p. 567?) τῇ ἐμῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ, of kindness to sisters; but in the NT the word is used in the definite sense of ‘‘love of the brethren,’’ i.e. the Christian brotherhood (Rom 1219, Heb 131, 1 Pet 122, 2 Pet 17).
