1 PETER 1:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:”
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart — the purification (gynaitentes) of souls through obedience to the truth (alētheia) creates capacity for genuine love (unypokritē agapē, unhypocritical love). The exhortation to 'love one another fervently' (agapate allēlous ektenos, intensely/earnestly) presumes that purification enables authentic community.
