these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 1 THES. iii. 12; The Lord make you to increase and abound in Love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you. do. iv. 9: As touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. 1 TIM. i, 5: The end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. do. vi. 11: Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 2 TIM. ii. 22: Follow righteousness, faith, charity. HEB. xiii. 1: Let brotherly love continue. JAM. ii. 8: If ye fulfil the royal law according to the Scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well, 1 PET. i. 22: Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren; see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. do. ii. 17: Love the brotherhood. do. iii. 8: Love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. do. iv. 8: Above all things, have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 2 PET. i. 7: [Add] to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 1 JOHN, ii. 9-11: He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness. do.iii. 10, 11, 14, 16, 18, 23: Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth. This is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. do. iv. 7, 8, 11, 20, 21: Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. If a man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."
