1 John 2:20-27
New International Version
20 But you have an anointing(A) from the Holy One,(B) and all of you know the truth.[a](C) 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it(D) and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.(E) 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(F)
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning(G) remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.(H) 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life.(I)
26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.(J) 27 As for you, the anointing(K) you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things(L) and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.(M)

God’s Love and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another,(A) for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God(B) and knows God.(C) 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.(D) 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son(E) into the world that we might live through him.(F) 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us(G) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(H) 11 Dear friends,(I) since God so loved us,(J) we also ought to love one another.(K) 12 No one has ever seen God;(L) but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.(M)
13 This is how we know(N) that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.(O) 14 And we have seen and testify(P) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.(Q) 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,(R) God lives in them and they in God.(S) 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love.(T) Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.(U)
1 John 3:14-19
New International Version
14 We know that we have passed from death to life,(A) because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.(B) 15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister(C) is a murderer,(D) and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.(E)
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.(F) And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.(G) 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them,(H) how can the love of God be in that person?(I) 18 Dear children,(J) let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.(K)
19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence:
2 Peter 1:7
New International Version
7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.(A)
