Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
Continue in brotherly love.
Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
