Love each other in a way that you feel close to each other like brothers and sisters. You should want to give your brothers and sisters more honor than you want for yourself.
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 pray that the Lord will make your love grow. We pray that he will give you more and more love for each other and for all people. We pray that you will love all people like we love you.
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.
We thank God for you always. And we should do that because that is right for us to do. It is right because your faith is growing more and more. And the love that every one of you has for each other is also growing.
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.
This is what God commands: that we believe in his Son Jesus Christ and that we love each other. This is what he commanded.
And he (God) gave us this command: The person who loves God must also love his brothers and sisters \{in Christ\}.
