^8 (A)Anyone who does not love does not know God, because ^(B)God is love.

^17 (A)Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from ^(B)the Father of lights, ^(C)with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.^[a]

^41 (A)I do not receive glory from people. ⁴² But ^(B)I know that you do not have ^(C)the love of God within you. ⁴³ I have come ^(D)in my Father's name, and ^(E)you do not receive me. ^(F)If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. ⁴⁴ How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and ^(G)do not seek the glory that comes from ^(H)the only God?
