a. “One who loves him who is from himself” (In other words, the Father is the one who loves the Son he begat.) (See Luke 20.13; John 5.20; Col. 1.13; Eph. 1.6; 2 Pet. 1.17.)

b. “One who loves him from whom he is” (In other words, the Son is the one who loves the Father who begat him.) (See John 5.19; John14.31; John 17.1.)

c. “And love itself” (In other words, the Holy Spirit is the eternal bond of love between the Father to the Son.) (See Mark 1.10-11; Mark 9.7; John 3.34-35; Gal. 4.6.)
