Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love;

Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

if any one may say -- 'I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to love?

Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:
