If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing? Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

Therefore pray ye after this manner: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be hallowed:

Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love. No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us. read more. In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit. And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent forth his Son the Saviour of the world. Whosoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, in him God abides, and he in God. And we have known and we have believed the divine love which God has in us. God is divine love; and the one abiding in divine love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
