John writes of a new commandment which, most likely, to love one another. It is our love for one another that demonstrates the reality of our relationship with God and our brethren. This love is true when we think and act as Jesus did and is shown in what we do for one another.
15. An Old Commandment
“You shall love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all
your mind. This is the great and first
commandment.”
Matthew 22:37-38, CB NT p. 44
16. An Old Commandment
And a second is like it: You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:39, CB NT p. 44
17. An Old Commandment
On these two commandments depend
all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:40, CB NT p. 44
18. A NEW Commandment
A new commandment I give to you, that you love
one another: just as I have loved you, you also
are to love one another.
By this all people will
know that you are my
disciples, if you have
love for one another.”
John 13:34-35, CB NT p. 191
