For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
And now I beseech you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.
And we have this commandment from Him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.
And above all things have fervent love to yourselves, for love will cover a multitude of sins.
And finally, all be of one mind, having compassion on one another, loving the brothers, tenderhearted, friendly.
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.
And this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
But regarding brotherly love, you do not need that I write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
Purifying your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,
But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned,
Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the Law of Christ.
He rose up from supper and laid aside His garments. And He took a towel and girded Himself.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
