         DefinitionShort: affection for one’s fellow believer in Christ

         Glosses: ['love for one’s fellow believer', 'affection for a fellow believer']

         Comments: In the NT the terms φιλαδελφία and {L:φιλάδελφος} ({D:25.35}) 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.
