If so., is it "human love" or "agape love"?

The word in the Greek Textus Receptus is agape, which means "charitable love." (I would have included the Greek here, but my version of Yahoo! won't let me paste it in). What do you mean in your question when you differentiate between human and agape love? In any case, 1 Cor 13:4-13 explains what Paul means by charity.

Yes, the KJV version translates this as charity because the Vulgate uses the word caritas (if I remember correctly), but this word in english is now outdated -- it just means love:
caritas -atis f. [dearness , high price]; esp. [high cost of living]. Transf., [affection, love, esteem].

Human love is so conditional, think about it.
