⁷ and in `your' godliness brotherly kindness; and in `your' brotherly kindness love.

¹ Let love of the brethren continue.

¹⁰ In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another;

¹² and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also `do' toward you;

¹ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

² And if I have `the gift of' prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

³ And if I bestow all my goods to feed `the poor', and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

⁴ Love suffereth long, `and' is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;

⁶ rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;

⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁸ Love never faileth: but whether `there be' prophecies, they shall be done away; whether `there be' tongues, they shall cease; whether `there be' knowledge, it shall be done away.

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.

³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

²¹ And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.

¹⁷ Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:

¹⁵ See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

⁹ But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;

¹⁰ for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more;

¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.

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

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.

⁸ Finally, `be' ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:

¹⁴ and above all these things `put on' love, which is the bond of perfectness.
