That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

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