Settings

4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for 1he who is in you is greater than 2he who is in the world.
5 3They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and 4the world listens to them.
6 We are from God. 5Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know 6the Spirit of truth and 7the spirit of error.

God Is Love

7 Beloved, 8let us love one another, for love is from God, and 9whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 10Anyone who does not love does not know God, because 11God is love.
9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that 12God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
10 In this is love, 13not that we have loved God 14but that he loved us and sent his Son to be 15the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 16No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and 17his love is perfected in us.
13 18By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14 And 19we have seen and testify that 20the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of 21the world.
