Love each other. This is what I’m commanding you to do.
“I’m giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you.
Love each other as I have loved you. This is what I’m commanding you to do.
Honor everyone. Love your brothers and sisters in the faith. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
Dear lady, I’m now requesting that we continue to love each other. It’s not as though I’m writing to give you a new commandment. Rather, from the beginning we were commanded to love each other.
