| Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 16 And we have known and have believed the charity which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity abideth in God, and God in him. | 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. |
