The Bible teaches that believers should demonstrate affectionate and selfless love towards one another. In Romans 12:10, we are instructed to "be devoted to one another in brotherly love", while Hebrews 13:1 reminds us to "continue in brotherly love". This kind of love is exemplified in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, which describes it as patient, kind, and not self-seeking. As Jesus commanded in John 13:34, we are to "love one another as I have loved you", and 1 John 4:20 emphasizes that our love for God is reflected in our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.
A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
