but whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him:
-
Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no cause for stumbling.
-
Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world;
-
See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
-
The children of God and the children of the devil are revealed in this way: all who do not do what is right are not from God, nor are those who do not love their brothers and sisters.
-
Love One Another
For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
-
We know that we have passed from death to life because we love one another. Whoever does not love abides in death.
-
We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.
-
How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
-
Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.
-
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.
-
God Is Love
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
-
Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.
-
God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
-
In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
-
Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.
-
No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
-
So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
-
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgement, because as he is, so are we in this world.
-
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.
-
We love because he first loved us.
-
Those who say, ‘I love God’, and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen.
-
The commandment we have from him is this: those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.
-
Faith Conquers the World
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.
-
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.
-
For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,
