Doct. 11. This love should be extended unto all men, but chiefly to be used towards the brethren.
For so they are distinctly set down, verse 7. Brotherly kindness and charity: Both of these is proper and peculiar to Christians. For the Christian alone loves all, even his enemies, and he alone also loves the brethren, that is, the household of faith. We should love all, 1.

And we should love the faithful also, as they are partakers of the same spiritual good with us.
