Translations:In what way was Jesus' command in John 13:34 "new"?/1/en
From Theonomy Wiki
It isn't the "love one another" part that is new -- that was already commanded back in Lev. 19:18.[1] The new part is "as I have loved you." We have now seen YHWH in the flesh interacting directly with us and providing us with specific examples of how we should love. I think a lot of these examples involve Jesus' specific emphases on humility, care for children, and personal forgiveness. But he also exemplified following Biblical law, as well.
