Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

21 And he has given us this command:(A) Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.(B)

Faith in the Incarnate Son of God

Everyone who believes(C) that Jesus is the Christ(D) is born of God,(E) and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.(F)

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
