By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
This I command you, that you love one another.
but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:
and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
