1 John 4:7-1 John 5:4 - God's Love Revealed
7 Dearly beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God. And all that love are born of God, and knoweth God. 8 And he that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love. 9 Herein appeared the love of God to us ward, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we should live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to make a satisfaction for our sins. 11 Dearly beloved, if God so loved us, then we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfect in us.
13 Hereby know we, that we abide in him, and he in us: For he hath given us of his spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the father hath sent his son, which is the saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever confesseth that Jesus is the son of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is the love perfect with us, that we should have confidence in the day of judgment; For as he is, even so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out all fear, for fear hath painfulness. He therefore that feareth is not perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he loved us first.
20 If a man say, "I love God," and yet hate his brother, he is a liar. For how can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we of him: that he which loveth God, should love his brother also.
1 All that believe that Jesus is Christ, are born of God. And all that loveth him which begat, loveth him also which was begotten of him. 2 In this we know that we love the sons of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For all that is born of God, overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
