Amor fraternal
O amor fraternal é marca dos discípulos de Cristo. Nisto conhecerão que sois meus discípulos: se tiverdes amor uns aos outros.
Amar uns aos outros
Este é o meu mandamento: que vos ameis uns aos outros como Eu vos amei. O amor fraternal é testemunho ao mundo.
I am giving you a new command: Love one another. Love one another in the same way I have loved you. If you love one another you will prove to everyone that you are my disciples."
This is my command: love one another as I have loved you.
There is no greater love than to give your life for your friends.
The message you’ve heard from the beginning is simply this: we should love one another.
The reason we know that we have changed from death to life is because we love our Christian brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn’t love remains dead.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our Christian brothers and sisters. If one of you is living well in this world and you see your Christian brother or sister in need, but you don’t show compassion—how can God’s love be living in you? Dear friends, let’s not just say we love with words, but show our love in what we do and how we demonstrate the truth.
Dear friends, let’s go on loving one another, for love comes from God. All those who love are born of God and know God.
This is love! It’s not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and he sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
Friends, if this is the way God loves us, we ought to love one another like this too. No one has ever seen God. However, if we love one another then God lives in us, and his love is fulfilled in us.
Anyone who says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, is a liar. Anyone who doesn’t love a brother whom they can see, can’t love God whom they can’t see. This is the command he gave to us: those who love God love their brothers and sisters too.
