Such a love the believers were ever to cherish. They were to go forward in willing obedience to the new commandment. So closely were they to be united with Christ that 548 they would be enabled to fulfill all His requirements. Their lives were to magnify the power of a Saviour who could justify them by His righteousness.

En sådan kærlighed burde de troende altid føle for hinanden. De burde gå frem i villig lydighed mod dette bud. Så tæt burde de være forenede med Kristus, at de ville være i stand til at opfylde alle hans krav. Deres liv burde herliggøre kraften hos en Frelser, der kan retfærdiggøre dem ved sin retfærd.
