^34 (A)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

¹¹ For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, ^(A)that we should love one another,

²³ And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ ^(A)and love one another, as He gave ^[a]us commandment.

²¹ And ^(A)this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

⁵ And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: ^(A)that we love one another.
