You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.

You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.

Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king.

All Christians

Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.

Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Greet each other with a kiss of love. Peace be with all of you who are in Christ.
