Hi ZW,

I encourage you to register and become part of the forum.

The phrase is correct.

By looking at this [url="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=one%20another"]Dictionary.com entry for "one another"[/url], we see that "one another" means "each other".

Hi,

I was just typing (my hands are like pot roasts) when CalifJim answered. I am just going to add to his comment.

"Love one another." by itself does mean to love everyone else as Jim explained.

If you see a couple and say, "They love one another," that is equivalent to, "they love each other."

Hope that helps.
