rsv 1John:4:11-20-21
rsv@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
rsv@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
rsv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit.
rsv@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.
rsv@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
rsv@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
rsv@1John:4:17 @ In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world.
rsv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love.
rsv@1John:4:19 @ We love, because he first loved us.
rsv@1John:4:20 @ If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
