¹¹ Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another;

⁵ And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another.

²¹ And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.

⁵ This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.

¹² This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

⁷ My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

⁸ And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:

⁸ Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

³⁴ I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

³⁵ By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

⁷ My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.

⁸ Again, I give you a new law, which is true in him and in you; for the night is near its end and the true light is even now shining out.

² And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

²² And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

⁵ But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:

⁹ But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

² Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.
