The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

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

No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

If someone says, "I love God," and yet he hates his brother or sister, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother and sister whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and follow His commandments.

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

For whoever has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

If anyone sees his brother or sister committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will, for him, give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death; I am not saying that he should ask about that.
