* Beloved , let us love one another , for love is of God ; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God . * He who does not love does not know God , for God is love . * In this the love of God was manifested toward us , that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world , that we might live through Him . * 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 . * Beloved , if God so loved us , we also ought to love one another . * No one has seen God at any time . If we love one another , God abides in us , and His love has been perfected in us . * By this we know that we abide in Him , and He in us , because He has given us of His Spirit . * And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world . * Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God , God abides in him , and he in God . * And we have known and believed the love that God has for us . God is love , and he who abides in love abides in God , and God in him . * Love has been perfected among us in this : that we may have boldness in the day of judgment ; because as He is , so are we in this world . * There is no fear in love ; but perfect love casts out fear , because fear involves torment . But he who fears has not been made perfect in love . * We love Him because He first loved us . * If someone says , "I love God ," and hates his brother , he is a liar ; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen , how can he love God whom he has not seen ? * And this commandment we have from Him : that he who loves God must love his brother also .
