Love One Another

11 For ^tthis is the message ^uthat you have heard from the beginning, that we should ^vlove one another.

5 And now I ask you, dear lady—^fnot as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we ^glove one another. 6 And ^hthis is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, ⁱjust as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
