¹⁷ So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.

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

¹⁴ We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

¹⁵ Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him.

¹⁶ In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.

¹⁷ But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him?

¹⁷ Have respect for all, loving the brothers, fearing God, honouring the king.
