¹⁷ `These things I command you, that ye love one another;

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

¹⁴ we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining,

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?

¹⁷ to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.
