but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:

But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and'such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

And every one that hath this hope'set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?

Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.

There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.

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, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.

For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.

He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
