5 1They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and 2the world listens to them.
6 We are from God. 3Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know 4the Spirit of truth and 5the spirit of error.

God Is Love

7 Beloved, 6let us love one another, for love is from God, and 7whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 8Anyone who does not love does not know God, because 9God is love.
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that 10God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
10 In this is love, 11not that we have loved God 12but that he loved us and sent his Son to be 13the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 14No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and 15his love is perfected in us.
13 16By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14 And 17we have seen and testify that 18the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of 19the world.
15 20Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
