¶ Brethren I write no new commandment unto you: but that old commandment which ye heard from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye heard from the beginning.
¶ For this is the tidings, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: not as Cain which was of the wicked and slew his brother.
And now beseech I thee lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that same, which we had from the beginning, that we should love one another.
