1 John 5:2

³⁴A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. ³⁵By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

⁵But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

²²so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. ²³This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded. ²⁴He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

²¹This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

¹⁷“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
