The point of love, genuine Christian love, what the New Testament writers call agape (though some Greek writers used this word, too, in a wider sense like the English ‘love’), was that it meant copying the self-giving love of Jesus himself. This love is included in the command to ‘put on’ Jesus, as in verse 14. And in that self-giving love there is no room for immorality, particularly for cheating in marriage, your own or someone else’s – however much it tries to disguise itself as ‘love’. ― Tom Wright, Paul for Everyone: Romans Part 2
