¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

²³ and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

³² then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,

³³ did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?

³⁷ and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'

³⁴ `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,

³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

¹ Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,

² and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye;

¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?
