Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner. read more.
He answered, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see. Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open thine eyes? He answered them, I have told you already, and ye would not hear? why would ye now hear it again? have ye also a mind to be his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence He is. The man answered, and said unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth. From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. And if this man were not from God, He could do nothing. They answered, and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe on Him? Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped Him.

Love » The source of love
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He, that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love. In this was the love of God manifested towards us, that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. read more.
Herein is love; not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No one hath ever seen God: but if we love one another, God dwelleth in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we are in Him, and He in us; because He hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love which God hath towards us: for God is love; and he, that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is love perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement; for as He is, we also are in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment; but he that feareth is not perfected in love. We love Him, because He first loved us. If any one say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for how can he, that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen? And we have this commandment from Him, that he, who loveth God, should love his brother also.
