I really like the NAB translation of this passage: "Love one another as I love you." No past tense there. Not, follow my PAST example, rather here and now ... we could almost say "As I AM loving you!" And it's beautiful that God loves within both you and me. He is the one behind all our mutual dealings. I find GOD in you, you see GOD in me; this makes it truly possible to love, as it were, infinitely!
