1 John 4:12-16

English Standard Version

^12 (A)No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and ^(B)his love is perfected in us.

^13 (C)By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And ^(D)we have seen and testify that ^(E)the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of ^(F)the world. ^15 (G)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. ¹⁶ So ^(H)we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. ^(I)God is love, and ^(J)whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
