And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.
above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:
and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.
Let love of the brethren continue.
and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
These things I command you, that ye may love one another.
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth;
