His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for already the Jews had agreed that if any one confessed him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue; therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him. Then they called the man who had been blind, a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. read more.
Then he answered, Whether he is a sinner I know not; one thing I know, that having been blind, I now see. Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes? He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear; why do you wish to hear again? Do you also wish to be his disciples? They reproached him, and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but we know not whence this man is. The man answered and said to them, It is a strange thing, that you know not whence he is, and he has opened my eyes. We know that God hears not sinners; but if one is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears. Since the world began it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind; unless this man was from God he would have been able to do nothing. They answered and said to him, You were born entirely in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him without. Jesus heard that they had cast him without, and finding him he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God? And he answered and said, Who is he, sir, that I shall believe on him? Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and he that speaks to you is he. And he said, Lord, I believe, and worshipped him.

Love » The source of love
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and every one that loves has been born of God and knows God. He that loves not has not known God; for God is love. The love of God was manifested to us in this; that God has sent his only Son into the world that we may live through him. read more.
In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God continues in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we continue in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, the Saviour of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God continues in him and he in God. And we have known and believed the love which God has for us. God is love; and he that continues in love continues in God and God in him. By this is love perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as he is we also are in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has pain; and he that is afraid is not made perfect in love. We love, because he first loved us. If any one says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And we have this commandment from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
