Study Note
The call to 'love one another with a pure heart fervently' follows the declaration that souls have been purified through obedience to the truth — making intense communal love the expected ethical fruit of regeneration. The adverb 'fervently' (ektenos) implies strained, sustained effort, suggesting that brotherly love is not automatic but requires ongoing intentional cultivation. The verse anticipates 1 John 4:7-12's argument that love for the brethren is the visible evidence of knowing God, and both texts draw on Jesus's new commandment in John 13:34 — 'love one another as I have loved you.'
