'Love' in the Bible

The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,

Grace, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

And now, dear lady, I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another.

The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.
