A NEW COMMANDMENT
A new commandment I give unto you:
"That you love one another".
For love is of God;
and every one that loves is born of God,
and knows God.
He that does not love does not know God.
For God is love.
And he that dwells in love dwells in God,
and God in him.
If a man says, "I love God",
and hates his brother,
he is a liar:
For he that does not love his brother,
whom he has seen,
how can he love God
whom he has not seen?
Inasmuch as you have done it
to one of the least of these my brothers,
you have done it to God.
And this commandment have we from him:
"That he who loves God
love his brother also".
Paraphrase John 13:34; 1 John 4:7-8; 1 John 4:16; 1 John 4:20; Matthew 25:40; 1 John 4:21
