3. Kind.
The Apostle makes pKindness one essential part of our love; deriving it from Christs example: who was Kind to us, both in giving us much good, and forgiving us much evil. And God commendeth, yea commandeth the inseparable neighbourhood of godliness and brotherly kindness. qAdd to your godliness brotherly ⟨p. 153⟩kindness. For there is no piety towards God, where there is no kindness to our brother. Now Christs kindness to us consisted in 2. excellent effects Corrigendo. Porrigendo.
