John, beloved disciple » Facts concerning » Learned the lesson of love in the school of Christ
Now there was one of the disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved.
He who saith, that he is in the light, yet hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother is in the light, and occasion of stumbling in him there is none.
We know that we are passed out of [a state of] death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Every one who hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath life eternal abiding in him. By this we have known the love [of Christ], because for us he laid down his own life: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. read more.
But whosoever hath worldly abundance, and seeth his brother under necessity, and shutteth his bowels of compassion against him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My dear children, let us not love in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth;

Beloved, let us love one another; because love is from God, and every one who loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, never knew God; for God is love. By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him. read more.
Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Love » The source of love
Beloved, let us love one another; because love is from God, and every one who loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, never knew God; for God is love. By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him. read more.
Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his own Spirit. And we have seen and bear testimony, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us. God is love; and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him. By this is his love towards us perfected, that we might have confidence at the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world. Fear is not in this love; but the perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath anguish. He that is afraid is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen? So this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love also his brother.
