Duties of the Membership

The primary duty of the membership is to love one another; "Owe no man anything, but to love one another, Rom. 13:8, Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. ; Rom. 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another. This is the great law of Christ, as King in his church, his royal commandment, Joh_13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another., Joh_15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
