⁸ above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

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

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.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow now; but thou shalt follow afterwards.

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

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

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;

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

³⁷ And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

³⁸ This is the great and first commandment.

³⁹ And a second like `unto it' is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁴⁰ On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.

⁸ Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

¹¹ For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:

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

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son `to be' the propitiation for our sins.

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

¹² No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

¹³ hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

²⁰ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.

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

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

⁸ Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.

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?

¹⁸ `My' Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

¹⁹ Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:

¹ Let love of the brethren continue.

² Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

³ Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are illtreated, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴ `Let' marriage `be' had in honor among all, and `let' the bed `be' undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.
