Whoever claims to be in the light, and yet continues to hate his brother is still in darkness.

The anointing of the Spirit which you received still remains in your hearts, and so you have no need that anyone should teach you. But just as that anointing of His teaches you about everything, and as it is true and no falsehood, and as it has taught you to do so, you must continue to live in union with Him.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love our brothers. Whoever does not continue to love continues still in death.

If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is stronger still; because this is the testimony that God has borne to His Son.
