This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
a new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another - This was the new feature of it. Christ’s love to His people in giving His life a ransom for them was altogether new, and consequently as a Model and Standard for theirs to one another. It is not, however, something transcending the great moral law, which is “the old commandment” (1Jo 2:7, and see on Mar 12:28-33), but that law in a new and peculiar form. Hence it is said to be both new and old (1Jo 2:7, 1Jo 2:8).
