I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”

Disciples’ Relation to Each Other

“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

This I command you, that you love one another.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor,

Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.

For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.

with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

and may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you;

Now as to the love of the brothers and sisters, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

and that you regard them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is only fitting, because your faith is increasing abundantly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another grows ever greater.

and let’s consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds,

Since you have purified your souls in obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brothers and sisters, fervently love one another from the heart,

Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.

Children of God Love One Another

See how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called children of God; and in fact we are. For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know Him.

For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we are to love one another;

This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

God Is Love

Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
