Live a life of love. Love other people the same as Christ loved us. Christ gave himself for us—he was a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice {\cf2\super [37]} to God.
We don’t need to write to you about having love for your brothers and sisters in Christ. God has already taught you to love each other.
The goal of this command is for people to have love. To have this love people must have a pure heart, they must do what they know is right, and they must have true faith.
Now you have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. Now you can have true love for your brothers and sisters. So love each other deeply—with all your heart.
So all of you should live together in peace. Try to understand each other. Love each other like brothers. Be kind and humble.
We heard the true teaching from God. Now we tell it to you: God is light {\cf2\super [2]} (goodness). In God there is no darkness (sin).
That is how much God loved us, dear friends! So we also must love each other.

Dear friends, we should love each other, because love comes from God. The person who loves has become God’s child. And so the person who loves knows God.
