14 We have seen and 4testify that the Father has 5sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 6Whoever * confesses that 7Jesus is the Son of God, God 8abides in him, and he in God.
16 9We have come to know and have believed the love which God has 10for us. 11God is love, and the one who 12abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
