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

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death.

¹⁵ Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.

¹⁶ By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

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