"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

"In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."

"For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another."

"We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death."

"Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

"But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?"

"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."

"Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."

"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment."

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

"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."

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

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

"No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us."

"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."

"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

"We love him, because he first loved us."
