And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

I am writing to you, little children, because you sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;

Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given us in allowing us to be called "Children of God!" And that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not know him.

We are God's children now, beloved; what we shall be has never yet been made manifest. But we know that when he is manifested we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

He who is committing sin is of the devil, because from the beginning of the devil is sinning. It was for this cause that the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; for every one who does not work righteousness is not a child of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

For this is the message that you have listened to from the beginning, "WE ARE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER."

By this we learn to know love, because he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

Do not believe every spirit, beloved, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets are gone out into the world.

They are of the world, and for this reason they speak as of the world, and the world listens to them.

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loves us a child of God.

He who does not love, does not know God; for God is love.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

And we do know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love; and he who is abiding in love is abiding in God, and God is abiding in him.

Fear does not exist in love; but love, when it is perfect, drives out fear. For fear has always torment, and he who has fear is not yet perfected in love.
