1 John 4:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

One who says, "I know him," and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn't in him.

Whoever remains in him doesn't sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows 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 our God.

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

Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

for our God is a consuming fire.

The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

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

Let all that you do be done in love.

Let brotherly love continue.
