⁶ In those days ^(A)men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

^34 (A)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

^35 (A)By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
