My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.

And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.

There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.

If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?

My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.

We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:

And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.

Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.

We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.
