I write

For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another,

And now I ask you, lady (not as [if I were] writing a new commandment to you, but [one] that we have had from the beginning), that we should love one another.

But

You shall not seek vengeance, and you shall not harbor a grudge [against] {your fellow citizens}; and you shall love your neighbor like yourself; I [am] Yahweh.

And you shall love Yahweh your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your might.

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor' and 'Hate your enemy.'

And he said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for the one who loves someone else has fulfilled the law.

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom [become] an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

However, if you carry out the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.
