Love each other in a way that you feel close to each other like brothers and sisters. You should want to give your brothers and sisters more honor than you want for yourself.
When we have the opportunity to do good to any person, we should do it. But we should give special attention to the people that are in the family of believers (the church).
We pray that the Lord will make your love grow. We pray that he will give you more and more love for each other and for all people. We pray that you will love all people like we love you.
Now you have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. Now you can have true love for your brothers and sisters. So love each other deeply—with all your heart.
We know that we have left death (sin) and have come into life. We know this because we love our brothers and sisters \{in Christ\}. The person who does not love is still in death.
