Sorry SarahM777 but you're in disagreement with scripture.
Firstly, sexual immorality is not love, it is sin, and we should not love sin nor attempt to treat sin as love.
Secondly, agape love in the NT typically refers to divine love (what God prefers) as Strong's puts it and the purpose of God's divine love does not conflict with the purpose of His divine holiness and obviously is not a license for sinning. You're making a false assertion that is addressed in such NT passages as Romans 6:1–11 and 1 John (cf. 1 John 1:9–10).
The Bible rejects antinomianism. Though Christians are not saved through keeping the Mosaic law, we still have a responsibility to live godly lives as we walk by the HOLY Spirit (Gal 5:16) who continually works to transform us into the image of SINLESS HOLY Christ the Creator (Col 3:1, 7–10).
Instead of going around pulling a few scriptures out of context from the rest of God's Word to falsely teach people that they can immerse themselves in "lifestyles" of great sexual immorality, which is both condemned and sternly rebuked in both the old and new testaments as are the false teachers who wrongly teach such falsehood, turn your Bible to the book of Jude.
As the 'Dictionary of the later New Testament and its Developments' states:
"Jude itself indicates that the primary characteristic of the opponents is antinomianism; they reject the moral authority of Christ (Jude 4) and the law (Jude 8–10). As a consequence, they engage in immoral behavior, particularly sexual immorality (Jude 6–8, 16, 18, 23)."
Is it sinking it yet Sarah or do you want to rebuke Saint Jude for condemning "ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness... just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire."
Note that Jude has a proper exegesis of God's divine love and God's divine holiness (something the false teachers addressed in the book of Jude nor yourself managed to get right).
So did Saint Peter when he penned 2 Peter 2 and 2 Peter 3, noting “the holy commandment delivered to them” (2 Pet 2:21) and of “the commandment of your apostles” (2 Pet 3:2) for in the former text “the holy commandment” is parallel to “the way of righteousness” that was abandoned by the disobedient and for which they were condemned.
Theologian R. J. Bauckham observes that in both of these verses the Christian gospel is conceived of ethically and done so deliberately by Peter in response to the false teachers who had disturbed the community with their advocacy of antinomianism.
I can use big colored fonts too. Anyone can. Using big colored fonts has not made you any less wrong. You ARE wrong.

Romans 13
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. [SUP]9 [/SUP]The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[SUP][a][/SUP] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[SUP][b][/SUP] [SUP]10 [/SUP]Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Agape love CAN NOT SIN. Agape love is FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW.
