In this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit. And we have beheld, and testify, that the Father hath sent the Son, as Savior of the world. Whosoever confesses 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 in us.

Owe no one anything, but to love one another; for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. For this, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not kill," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet;" and, if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love works no ill to one's neighbor: therefore, love is a fulfillment of the law.
A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; even as I loved you, that ye love one another.
and, even for this very reason, adding all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; and in knowledge, continence; and in continence, patience; and in patience, godliness; and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
