and to your service for God, add kindness for your brothers and sisters in Christ; and to this kindness, add love.
Love each other like brothers and sisters. Give each other more honor than you want for yourselves.
When we have the opportunity to help anyone, we should do it. But we should give special attention to those who are in the family of believers.
Even more than all this, clothe yourself in love. Love is what holds you all together in perfect unity.
May the Lord make your love grow more and multiply for each other and for all people so that you will love others as we love you.
Be sure that no one pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to do what is good for each other and for all people.
Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.
Now that your obedience to the truth has purified your souls, you can have true love for your Christian brothers and sisters. So love each other deeply with all your heart.
Show respect for all people: Love the brothers and sisters of God’s family, respect God, honor the king.
Finally, all of you should be in agreement, understanding each other, loving each other as family, being kind and humble.
We know we have left death and have come into life because we love each other. Whoever does not love is still dead.
This is how we know what real love is: Jesus gave his life for us. So we should give our lives for our brothers and sisters.
And God gave us this command: Those who love God must also love their brothers and sisters.
