1 John 4:5-12
-
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
-
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
-
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
-
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
-
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
-
10 Herein 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 hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
