We have seen and 1testify that the Father has 2sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15
3Whoever*confesses that 4Jesus is the Son of God, God5abides in him, and he in God.
16
6We have come to know and have believed the lovewhichGodhas7for us. 8God is love, and the one who 9abides in loveabides in God, and Godabides in him.
17
By this, 10love is perfected with us, so that we may have11confidence in 12the day of judgment; because13as He is, so also are we in thisworld.
18
There is nofear in love; but 14perfectlovecasts out fear, becausefearinvolvespunishment, and the one who fears is not 15perfected in love.
20
17Ifsomeonesays, "I loveGod," and 18hates his brother, he is a 19liar; for 20the one who does not love his brotherwhom he has seen, 21cannot*loveGodwhom he has not seen.
21
And 22thiscommandment we have from Him, that the one who lovesGod23should love his brotheralso.
