8. He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12. No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13. By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.
16. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him.
17. In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
