But is there *one concept* of "love," being written by several different
words in the Greek, or are there several different concepts expressed by
different words in the Greek, but translated with *one word* in the English?

But is righteousness a concept or an English word? Just because we can
find someway of lumping lots of Greke words under the umbrella of a single
English word does not mean that we are dealing with multiple expressions in
Greek of a word which English more concisely lays out in a single word.
