Notes: In the NT the terms φιλαδελφία and φιλάδελφος (25.35: φιλάδελφος) have acquired highly specialized meanings which restrict the range of reference to fellow believers. In nonbiblical contexts these terms would refer to affection or love for persons belonging to a so-called ‘in-group,’ but in the NT this in-group is defined in terms of Christian faith.
