Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

See ye, what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called the children of God: for this the world knows us not, for it knew him not.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

We know that we have passed from death to life, for we love the brethren. He not loving the brother remains in death.

In this have we known love, for he set his soul for us: and we ought to set the souls for the brethren.

And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?

My little children, we should not love in word, neither in tongue; but in work and truth.

And this is his command, That we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us command.

Dearly beloved, we should love one another: for love is of God; and every one loving has been born of God, and knows God.

He not loving knows not God; for God is love.

In this was the love of God manifested in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world, that we might live by him.

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

Dearly beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

None has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is completed in us.

And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love; and he remaining in love remains in God, and God in him.

In this has love been completed with us, that we might have freedom of speech in the day of judgment: for as he is, so are we in this world.

Fear is not in love; but perfected love casts out fear: for fear has restraint. And he fearing has not been perfected in love.

We should love him, for he first loved us.

If any say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he not loving his brother whom he has seen, God whom he has not seen, how can he love?

And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also.

In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commands.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands: and his commands are not heavy.
