.. hope that’s OK with you?
A verse that has hit me recently is 1 Peter 1:22. The verse really serves to expound on the quality of our love for one another ( John 13:34). Here it what it says:
“Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.”
