20 But you have been (A)anointed by (B)the Holy One, and (C)you all have knowledge.[a] 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but (D)he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is (E)the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (F)No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let (G)what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then (H)you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us[b]—(I)eternal life.
26 I write these things to you about (J)those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But (K)the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and (L)you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and (M)is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

1 John 4:7-16
English Standard Version
God Is Love
7 Beloved, (A)let us love one another, for love is from God, and (B)whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 (C)Anyone who does not love does not know God, because (D)God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that (E)God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, (F)not that we have loved God (G)but that he loved us and sent his Son to be (H)the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 (I)No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and (J)his love is perfected in us.
13 (K)By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And (L)we have seen and testify that (M)the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of (N)the world. 15 (O)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So (P)we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. (Q)God is love, and (R)whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

16 By this we know love, that (D)he laid down his life for us, and (E)we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But (F)if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet (G)closes his heart against him, (H)how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not (I)love in word or talk but in deed and (J)in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him;
