CHAPTER IV.
RELATIVE DUTIES OF CHRISTIANS TOWARD EACH OTHER.
1. To Love one Another.
Rom. XIII, 8. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Col. III, 14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
1 Thess. III, 12. And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love, one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you.
1 Cor. XIII, 1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
Gal. V, 13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
