1 John 4:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

He who says, "I know him," but does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

No one who abides in him sins. No one who sins has either seen him or known him.

Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you, that God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

for our God is a consuming fire.

On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

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

Let all that you do be done in love.

Let brotherly love continue.
