13 In this thing we know, that we dwell in him, and he in us; for of his Spirit he gave to us.
14 And we saw, and witness, that the Father sent his Son Saviour of the world.
15 Whoever acknowledgeth [Who-ever shall acknowledge], that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known, and believe to the charity, that God hath in us. God is charity, and he that dwelleth in charity, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
