*Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that [is] in you than he that [is] in the world.

*We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

He that loves not has not known God; for God is love.

Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

And *we* have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

And this commandment have we from him, That he that loves God love also his brother.

Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.

Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.

For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.

Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.

He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.

And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.
