So I command you to love each other.
But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you.
Now I tell you to love each other, as I have loved you.
Respect everyone and show special love for God's people. Honour God and respect the Emperor.
Dear friend, I am not writing to tell you and your children to do something you have not done before. I am writing to tell you to love each other, which is the first thing you were told to do.
