This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The commandment of loving one another is strictly no new commandment, we find it in the law of Moses, Lev_19:18; often pressed in the New Testament, Joh_15:17 Eph_5:2 1Jo_4:21 1Jo_2:7 saith, it is no new commandment, ; see also 2Jo_1:6. It is therefore called a new commandment, either because of the excellency of it, as new seemeth to be taken, Psa_33:3 Isa_65:17 Mat_26:29; or because it is expounded in the gospel in a new manner, pressed more plainly and in new arguments, and urged by a new example of their Lord and Master.
