Amor fraternal

34 A mitzvah chadasha I give to you, that you have ahavah (agape) one for the other, as I have had ahavah (agape) for you, so also you have ahavah (agape) one for the other.* 35 By this will kol Bnei Adam have da’as that my talmidim you are, if ahavah you have one for the other.

12 This is my mitzvah for you, that you have ahavah (agape) one for the other, as I have ahavah (agape) for you.

13 Ahavah (agape) gedolah than this no one has, that someone lay down his neshamah for his chaverim.*

11 Because this is the divrei Torah which we heard from the beginning, that we have ahavah one for another,

14 We have da’as that we have made our histalkus (passing) out of Mavet into Chayyim, because we have ahavah for the Achim b’Moshiach; the one not having ahavah makes his ma’on in death.

16 By this we have had da’as of ahavah, because that One on behalf of us laid down his nefesh;* and we ought, on behalf of the Achim b’Moshiach, to lay down our nefashot. 17 Now whoever has vital possessions of the Olam Hazeh and sees the Ach b’Moshiach of him being nitzrach (needy) and has no rachamim (mercy) on him* and refuses gemilut Chesed, how does the ahavas Hashem make ma’on in him? 18 Yeladim, let us not have ahavah in dvar or in lashon but in ma’aseh and in Emes.*

7 Chaverim, let us have ahavah one for another, because ahavah is of Hashem, and everyone having ahavah has been born of Hashem and has da’as of Hashem.

10 In this is ahavah, not that we have had ahavah for Hashem, but that Hashem had ahavah for us and gave His Zun fun der Oybershter as a kapporah for chattoteinu. 11 Chaverim, if Hashem so had ahavah for us, also we ought to have ahavah one for another. 12 No one has ever beheld Hashem. If we have ahavah one for another, G-d makes His ma’on in us and the Ahavas Hashem in us has been made shleimah.

20 If anyone says I have ahavah for Hashem and the Ach b’Moshiach he hates, he is a shakran (liar). For the one not having ahavah for the Ach b’Moshiach of him whom he has seen, how can he have ahavah for the Elohim whom he has not seen? 21 And this mitzvah we have from Him that the one having ahavah for Hashem should have ahavah also for the Ach b’Moshiach of him.

10 Show mishpochah (family) affection to one another in ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love). Be first in esteeming one another, in showing mutual respect.

8 Owe (be indebted, obligated) nothing to anyone except a choiv (debt) of ahavah (love); for he who has ahavah has fulfilled the Torah.

8 Now, to say over, all of you be an agudah (bound together union) in your thinking, have achdus, be sympathetic, having ahavah (agape) for the Achim b’Moshiach,* being tender-hearted men of mercy v’shiflei ruach (and lowly of spirit),

8 Above all else, have fervent ahavah among yourselves, for AHAVAH KOL PEYSHA’IM T’CHASSEH* (love covers all wrongs).

9 Concerning the matter of ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love), you have no need that we write you, for you yourselves are limudei Elohim (taught of G-d) to have ahavah (agape) one for another.

1 Let ahavat achim (brotherly love) continue. 2 Do not neglect hachnosas orchim (hospitality), for by this some without having da’as of it, have entertained malachim. 3 Have zikaron of the prisoners in the beis hasohar, as if having been bound with sharsherot (chains) with them; and those being tortured as though you were also.

14 And to all these things add ahavah, which is the agudah of tamimim.

37 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave this teshuva (answer) to the Baal Torah, V’AHAVTAH ES ADONOI ELOHEICHA B’CHOL LEVAVCHA UVECHOL NAFSHECHA UVECHOL MODECHA (And thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might).* 38 This is the gedolah and rishonah mitzvah. 39 And the second mitzvah is like it: V’AHAVTA L’REACHA KAMOCHA (And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself).*

8 If indeed you are shomer regarding the Dat HaMalkhut (Royal Decree), as it is written in the Kitvei Hakodesh, V’AHAVTAH L’REI’ACHA KAMOCHA* (And thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself) you do well.
