Agape - love extended from one to another through a relationship with God/Christ; also God's love for a person.
Eros - romantic love, sexual. The root of English word erotic.
Phileo - brotherly love as between siblings or close friends. The root for the name of Philadelphia.
Storge - family love as in a love from a parent to a child; also a love that grows out of friendship.
