6 1We are from God; 2he who knows God listens to us; 3he who 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 6Beloved, let us 7love one another, for love is from God; and 8everyone who loves is 9born of God and 10knows God.
8 The one who does not love does not know God, for 11God is love.
9 By this the love of God was manifested 12in us, that 13God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, 14not that we loved God, but that 15He loved us and sent His Son to be 16the propitiation for our sins.
11 17Beloved, if God so loved us, 18we also ought to love one another.
12 19No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His 20love is perfected in us.
13 21By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
14 We have seen and 22testify that the Father has 23sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 24Whoever * confesses that 25Jesus is the Son of God, God 26abides in him, and he in God.
16 27We have come to know and have believed the love which God has 28for us. 29God is love, and the one who 30abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
