¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.

³² Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:

³³ shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

³⁷ And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

¹² This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.

¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:

³² and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

¹ Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;

² and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:

¹⁶ Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁷ But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?
