6. We are of God, and whoever knows God listens to us. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
7. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
8. Anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9. In this way the love of God was revealed to us, that 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 atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we must also love one another.
12. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us.
13. We know that we live in Him, and He in us, because He has given us His Spirit.
14. And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him, and he in God.
16. And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
17. In this way God’s love is perfected in us, so that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as He is, so are we in this world.
