1 John 3:11

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

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also must love one another.

"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.

And walk in love, even as Christ also loved us, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from a pure heart fervently:

Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,

Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
