Beloved,
if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
No man hath seen God at any time.
If we love one another,
God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfected in us.
Hereby know we that we dwell in him,
and he in us,
because he hath given us of his Spirit.

And we have seen
and do testify
that the Father sent the Son
to be the Saviour of the world.
Whosoever shall confess
that Jesus is the Son of God,
God dwelleth in him,
and he in God.
And we have known and believed
the love that God hath to us.
God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God,
and God in him.

Master,
which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.

This is my commandment,
That ye love one another,
as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends,
if ye do whatsoever I command you.

A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.
