a Ibala eliyisenzo elithi phi·leʹo, litsho “ukuba lendaba, kumbe ukuthanda (njengoba nje umuntu engathanda umngane wakhe kumbe umfowabo).” Lijayele ukusetshenziswa eMibhalweni yamaKhristu yesiGrikhi. Elinye ibala ngelithi stor·geʹ kumbe uthando olubakhona phakathi kwamalunga emuli. Ibala leli lisetshenziswe ku-2 Thimothi 3:3 lapho esitshelwa khona ukuthi abantu bazabe bengasathandani ezimulini ngensuku zokucina. Elesine ngelithi eʹros, elitsho uthando olubakhona phakathi kowesilisa lowesifazana abathandanayo. Ibala leli alitholakali eMibhalweni yamaKhristu yesiGrikhi, kodwa iBhayibhili liyakhuluma ngalo uthando lolu.—IZaga 5:15-20.
