Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tēs agápēs toû Christoû {ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ Χριστοῦ | a-pó tês a-gá-pēs toû Khri-stoû} specifies the sphere from which separation is hypothetically envisioned, with the genitive toû Christoû functioning as a subjective genitive, denoting Christ’s own love directed toward believers.
