These men are spots in love feasts, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear. They are clouds without water, carried about of winds: withered autumnal trees without fruit; twice dead; rooted out;

Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And we have known, and believed the love which God has in us. God is love; wherefore, he who abides in love, abides in God, and God in him.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment: therefore, he who fears is not made perfect in love.

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is from God: and every one who loves, has been begotten by God, and knows God.

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

Wherefore, having purified your souls by obeying the truth, through the Spirit, to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another, from a pure heart, fervently:

And above all things, have fervent love to one another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.

He who does not love, does not know God; for God is love.

No one has seen God, at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is made perfect in us.

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

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