Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth, in sincere love for the brotherhood you must love one another heartily and fervently,

through my personal purity, my knowledge, my patience, my kindness; through the Holy Spirit, my genuine love,

And he went straight up to Jesus and said, "Good evening, Rabbi," and affectionately kissed Him.

He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and as the carrier of the purse for the Twelve he was in the habit of taking what was put into it.

When he reached there and saw the spiritual blessing God had given them, he was delighted, and continuously encouraged them all with hearty purpose to continue to be devoted to the Lord;

I am not saying this in the spirit of a command, but I am simply trying to test the genuineness of your love by the enthusiasm of others.

For our appeal did not originate from a delusion or an impure motive; it was not made in fraud;

Take care that none of you ever pays back evil for evil, but always keep looking for ways to show kindness to one another and everybody.

but continue to prove all things until you can approve them, and then hold on to what is good.

You loved the right and hated wrong; so God, your God, anointed you, with oil of exultation beyond all your companions."

Continue to live in peace with everybody and strive for that consecration without which no one can see the Lord.

If some brother or sister is thinly clad and has no food for the day,

For "Whoever wants to enjoy life and see delightful days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

Above everything else keep your love for one another fervent, because love covers up a multitude of sins.

Dear children, let us stop loving with words or lips alone, but let us love with actions and in truth.
