I did not say dead or freed from the Law, Paul did
And you could not be more wrong about the greek word agape
Jesus said the Great commandment is to love God. Jesus said "this is my commandment that you love one another", Jesus said on love hangs all the Law and the prophets. John said that love is demonstrated by God giving His Son as a propitiation for our sins. John said love is demonstrated in Jesus laying down His life for us. James called love the royal law. Peter called love the bond of perfection. Paul said love abides forever. Love is in no way abstract, and it has everything to do with action
We are to be led by the Spirit. Paul said that before he was converted to Jesus, he was according to the righteousness of the Law blameless. Paul said he wanted to be found in Christ not having his own righteousness, which is by the Law, but having the righteousness which comes by faith in Christ.
Paul said that love is the fulfilling of the Law, because he who loves will not murder, lie, commit adultery, steal, etc. The Law is not for righteous, but for unrighteous. All of these things are in the bible IF you need book, chapter, or verse for any of them, let me know and I will provide it.

Christ was NOT a Greek, Christ was thoroughly Hebrew. One of the many things the deep sea scroll discoveries did was to find that it was the Hebrew language mainly used by Hebrews in Christ's time. Only a very few of the deep sea scrolls were in Greek, almost all writings and scripture was in Hebrew, some even in the ancient paleo-Hebrew.
