This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

We know what love is because Jesus Christ gave his life for us. So we should give our lives for our brothers and sisters.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.

This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers and sisters.

夫天主竟遣其惟一之聖子降世、俾吾人得賴之以生、天主之垂愛吾人、不已明乎。吾人未愛天主、而天主先愛吾人、且遣其聖子、為吾人之罪惡、作息怒之犧牲；愛德即在斯中。愛友乎、天主如此垂愛吾人、則吾人亦宜彼此相愛矣。

力行愛德、亦如基督之愛爾也。彼竟為吾人之故、慨然以身獻於天主、作為祭祀牲牷、芳氣馥馥、有如馨香。

而基督獨為吾罪人捨生、足徵天主愛我之篤、寧有既極。

與真實無妄之見證、死者中最先復活、而統治世間萬王者、耶穌基督、降爾聖寵、錫爾平安、

吾誡非他、但欲爾等以吾之所以愛爾者、彼此相愛而已。人之愛、莫大於為其友舍生；

正如人子之來、非以役人、乃為人役、且捨其生以為眾人之贖焉。』

翼翼事主、翹足企首、仰望真福、與夫大主宰及吾救主耶穌基督之光臨。

不寧惟是、苟能有補於爾等之信德、即須傾流吾血、以作獻祭之酒、亦所甘心；且將因爾等之樂而樂焉。

正猶父之識予、予之識父也、予且為吾羊舍身致命焉。

彼為從事於基督之工作、而瀕於死、不惜代爾冒險、以周予之急；若是之人、實可敬也。

肩負吾人罪累於十字聖架之上。彼之為此、惟欲吾人死於罪而生於義、「以彼創傷、療我瘡痍」云耳。

應知爾等之得脫於習俗之羈絆其贖價非屬可朽之金銀、
