1 John 2:20-27
New King James Version
20 But (A)you have an anointing (B)from the Holy One, and (C)you[a] know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 (D)Who is a liar but he who denies that (E)Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (F)Whoever denies the Son does not have the (G)Father either; (H)he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
Let Truth Abide in You
24 Therefore let that abide in you (I)which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, (J)you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 (K)And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to [b]deceive you. 27 But the (L)anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and (M)you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing (N)teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you [c]will abide in Him.

1 John 4:7-16
New King James Version
Knowing God Through Love(A)
7 (B)Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who (C)loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 (D)In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten (E)Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, (F)not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son (G)to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, (H)if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Seeing God Through Love
12 (I)No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 (J)By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And (K)we have seen and testify that (L)the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 (M)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and (N)he who abides in love abides in God, and God (O)in him.

1 John 3:14-19

The Outworking of Love
16 (C)By this we know love, (D)because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But (E)whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
18 My little children, (F)let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And by this we [b]know (G)that we are of the truth, and shall [c]assure our hearts before Him.
