太太啊，我现在劝你，我们大家要彼此相爱。这并不是我写一条新命令给你，乃是我们从起初所受的命令。

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

　神的命令就是叫我们信他儿子耶稣基督的名，且照他所赐给我们的命令彼此相爱。

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

再者，我写给你们的，是一条新命令，在主是真的，在你们也是真的；因为黑暗渐渐过去，真光已经照耀。

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

亲爱的弟兄啊，我写给你们的，不是一条新命令，乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令；这旧命令就是你们所听见的道。

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

弟兄们，你们不可彼此批评。人若批评弟兄，论断弟兄，就是批评律法，论断律法；你若论断律法，就不是遵行律法，乃是判断人的。

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
