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.
And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. If you have love for one another, then everyone will know that you are my disciples."
My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you.
The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them.
Love One Another
The message you heard from the very beginning is this: we must love one another.
We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love others. Those who do not love are still under the power of death.
This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us. We too, then, ought to give our lives for others! If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God? My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.
God Is Love
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God.
This is what love is: it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.
Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us.
If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen. The command that Christ has given us is this: whoever loves God must love others also.
Expressões de amor fraternal

Love one another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show respect for one another.
Duties toward One Another
Be under obligation to no one—the only obligation you have is to love one another. Whoever does this has obeyed the Law.
Suffering for Doing Right
To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another, and be kind and humble with one another.
Above everything, love one another earnestly, because love covers over many sins.
There is no need to write you about love for each other. You yourselves have been taught by God how you should love one another.
How to Please God
Keep on loving one another as Christians. Remember to welcome strangers in your homes. There were some who did that and welcomed angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are.
And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity.
Jesus answered, "‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and the most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’
You will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, which is found in the scripture, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."
