This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

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

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
