1 John 4:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Whoever abides in him, sins not. Whoever sins, has neither seen him nor known him.

Jesus answered: If I honor myself, my honor is nothing; it is my Father that honors me, of whom you say, that he is your God.

And this is the message that we heard from him, and do declare to you: that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Finally, brethren, farewell; be perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace; and the God of love and of peace will be with you.

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

for our God is a consuming fire.

On these two commandments hang the whole law and the prophets.

Greater love has no man than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.

Let every thing be done by you in love.

Let brotherly love continue.
