Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.
He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice.
Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word that you have heard.
For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
But now, dear lady, I ask you, not as though I were writing you a new commandment but one we have had from the beginning: let us love one another.
