Jesus giving the Farewell Discourse to his eleven remaining disciples after the Last Supper, from the Maestà by Duccio, c. 1310.. The New Commandment is a term used in Christianity to describe Jesus's commandment to "love one another" which, according to the Bible, was given as part of the final instructions to his disciples after the Last Supper had ended, [1] and after Judas Iscariot had ...
John 15:12 quoted on a medal: "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." The chapter presents Jesus speaking in the first person. Although ostensibly addressing his disciples, most scholars [citation needed] conclude the chapter was written with events concerning the later church in mind.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus said: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (NIV, John 13:34–35; cf. John 15:17). Jesus also taught "Love your enemies." (Matthew 5:44, Luke 6:27).
In the Gospel of John, love for Christ results in the following of his commandments. In John 14:15, Jesus states, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." and John 14:23 reconfirms that: "If a man love me, he will keep my word". [22] The dual aspect to the above is Jesus' commandment to his followers to love one another.
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love (agapēseis) your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love ( agapāte ) your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
I would never use this word for another person. Again, not because it is uncivil, but because it goes against the life and the spirit of Jesus and the God whom Jesus revealed to the world.
Do they understand that the command from the Bible is to love one another even as I have loved you? Do they understand that Jesus himself said, regarding trans people, let those who can accept ...
The English word appears as a nonce-coinage, used by Thomas De Quincey in 1846. [6] It is comparable to the original meaning of Greek atheos of "rejecting the gods, rejected by the gods, godforsaken". Strictly speaking, the term connotes an attitude towards the gods (one of hatred) rather than making a statement about their nature.
