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

A new commandment I give to you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

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

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from 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.

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

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 sweet-smelling savor.

But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

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

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

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 will cover a multitude of sins.

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