By this all will know you are my disciples
“By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
The sign of discipleship is love among yourselves — not words or powers alone.
Greek
Ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε, ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.
Σημεῖον μαθητείας ἡ ἐν ἀλλήλοις ἀγάπη, οὐ μόνον λόγοι ἢ δυνάμεις.
