This translation is more detailed and precise than the rudimentary, mass market translations available. 
Appropriately, it's προς τους υιους του θεου. Others won't be able to appreciate it unaided.

Most words derived from αγαπαω (a combination of αγω and παιω) have been left as Greek, not translated to the 
inappropriate English word 'love'. For a definition of αγαπη in action, see 1Cor 13:4-8. See the glossary for a definition.
