Read it. Read it again. Then get about the work of making your life and the relationships you have and or will have with others better, because you are better equipped to understand the importance of the second great commandment from God; "Love thy neighbor as thy self;" Which was then further clarified in scripture by, "Love One Another, As I Have Loved You." Better equipped because of your reading to live it. He, God and His Son, Jesus Christ loves each of us unconditionally. No matter who we are, what we do or what we do not do. He,They love us unconditionally. Their words and actions continually prove that to be true. He does not mock us, when he also commands us to; "Be Ye Therefore Perfect, Even as Your Father In Heaven is Perfect." He knows what we are capable of. What is possible. The free agency we are given as a gift from God, is our's to do as we will. But the expectations are set for us to love each other in the same way He loves us; "As I have loved you." That sets the standard we should live by. No matter what. Unconditionally. There are no exceptions in that. Thus our behavior and treatment of others should reflect that higher law and our own higher actions and outcomes. Unconditionally.
