7: Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9: In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10: Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

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

12: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13: Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14: And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

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

16: And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17: Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19: We love him, because he first loved us.

20: If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21: And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
