1 John 3:11

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
