My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.

They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us.

And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.

And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.

We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.
