So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. read more.
Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves? He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is. The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes. Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth. From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God? The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him? Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person. Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.
Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from that scripture, preached to him Jesus. But as they went on the road, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Here is water, what forbids my being baptised? And Philip said, If thou believest with the whole heart, it is allowable.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, "Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded."
If we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and practise not the truth:
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and in him the truth is not.
Love » The source of love
Beloved, let us love one another; because love is from God, and every one who loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, never knew God; for God is love. By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him. read more.
Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his own Spirit. And we have seen and bear testimony, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him. By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world. Fear is not in this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen? So this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.
