^34 (A)A new commandment ^(B)I give to you, ^(C)that you love one another: ^(D)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ^35 (E)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

^22 (A)The glory that you have given me ^(B)I have given to them, ^(C)that they may be one even as we are one, ^23 (D)I in them and you in me, ^(E)that they may become perfectly one, ^(F)so that the world may know that you sent me and ^(G)loved them even as ^(H)you loved me.

¹⁰ So then, ^(A)as we have opportunity, let us ^(B)do good to everyone, and especially to those who are ^(C)of the household of faith.

They Had Everything in Common

³² Now the full number of those who believed were of ^(A)one heart and ^(B)soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but ^(C)they had everything in common. ³³ And with great ^(D)power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and ^(E)great grace was upon them all. ^34 (F)There was not a needy person among them, for ^(G)as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold ³⁵ and ^(H)laid it at the apostles' feet, and ^(I)it was distributed to each as any had need.

^12 (A)having been buried with him in baptism, in which ^(B)you were also raised with him through faith in ^(C)the powerful working of God, ^(D)who raised him from the dead. ^13 (E)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God ^(F)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, ¹⁴ by ^(G)canceling ^(H)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. ^15 (I)He disarmed the rulers and authorities^[a] and ^(J)put them to open shame, by ^(K)triumphing over them in him.^[b]

Let No One Disqualify You

¹⁶ Therefore let no one ^(L)pass judgment on you ^(M)in questions of food and drink, or with regard to ^(N)a festival or ^(O)a new moon or a Sabbath. ^17 (P)These are a shadow of the things to come, but ^(Q)the substance belongs to Christ.
