Hilken is mistaken, here. Let's go back to the text - biblical context matters. Author and audience. Who's the audience? John 13:34-35 Is directed at disciples. The new command is directed to his disciples, followers, Christians. In the text, that's what "one another" refers to. 1 John repeats the idea, and Matthew 25 (the least of these, my *brothers). The Bible introduces the Church as a new thing. In that context, Jesus (and the Epistles) teach us that a Christian has love for the church. Note the next verse: "by this all will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another"
