A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. {shall: or, will}

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and {of} a good conscience, and {of} faith unfeigned:

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. {is born: Gr. has been born}

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only {use} not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all {men}, even as we {do} toward you:

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

If {there be} therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

But if thy brother be grieved with {thy} meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. {charitably: Gr. according to charity}

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also {to see} you:

Marriage {is} honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these {is} charity.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual {gifts}, but rather that ye may prophesy.

My love {be} with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. «{The first epistle} to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timotheus.}»
