In addition to Jodie44’s response it can also mean that after the "given" there can still be debate. For example one could say that they wish to debate religion and if loving God is a "given" they can proceed to examine doctrine. One could argue some point with a spouse or family member because it's a "given" that this family has love. When love is the "given" then the gift of it is crucial to what takes place in any situation including conflicts and war. In this case if love isn't the "given" nothing is resolved. World conflict is proof of that now. Even peace has become another kind of war where love is not the “given”.
