1 Thessalonians3:12
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love. Comp. 2Cor 9:8. The word "Lord" here probably refers to the Lord Jesus, as this is the name by which he is commonly designated in the New Testament. Acts 1:24. If this be so, then this is a petition to the Lord Jesus as the fountain of all grace and goodness.
(h) "love one another" 1Jn 4:7-12
