2 In this know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ, is come in flesh is of God:
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

9 In this was the charity of God demonstrated in us, in that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
10 In this does the charity consist, not because we had loved God, but because he loved us and has sent his Son <em>to be</em> the reconciliation for our sins.
10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
16 And we have known and believed the charity that God has in us. God is charity, and he that abides in charity abides 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 them.
17 In this the charity with us is made perfect, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, that as he is, so are we in this world.
17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
18 In charity there is no fear; but charity that is perfect casts out fear; because fear has torment; from which he that fears is not complete in charity.
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

20 If anyone says, I love God and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

21 And we have this commandment from him, That he who loves God loves his brother also.
21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
