In our Bible the word used is agape, agape love is unconditional love, we could say that it is "love in spite of", I love you even though you do not love me ... even though you hurt me ... even though I do not nothing. This is the way Christ loved us, to the degree that he was willing to give us his life for us, that is the love to which we are called. That is why Jesus says that we love our enemies and do good to those who harm us. The apostle Paul gives a description of this kind of love in 1 Corinthians 13.
