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

And we have known and have believed the love which God has to us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has torment, and he that fears has not been made perfect in love.

Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of God, and every one that loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.

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

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

No one has seen God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.

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

He that loves not has not known God; for God is love.

Beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

We love because he has first loved us.

And this commandment have we from him, That he that loves God love also his brother.
