John 13:34 *I give you a new commandment: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Leviticus 19:18.; Matthew 22:39.; John 15:12.
The commandment of mutual love had been previously given, but evidently misconstrued and abridged by the Jews to friends only, to this life only, and for earthly respects: but Jesus Christ reneweth it and enlargeth it after the form of his own love towards us, and giveth grace to observe it. (Bristow)
