13 Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 [a]And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Whosoever [b]confesseth that Jesus is the Son of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.
16 And we have known, and believed the love that God hath in us, [c]God is love, and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
