1 John 4:11-16

11 1Beloved, if God so loved us, 2we also ought to love one another. 12 3No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God remains in us, and His 4love is perfected in us. 13 5By this we know that we remain in Him and He in us, because He has given to us of His Spirit. 14We have seen and 6testify that the Father has 7sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

15 8Whoever confesses that 9Jesus is the Son of God, God 10remains in him, and he in God. 16 11We have come to know and have believed the love which God has 12 13for us. 14God is love, and the one who 15remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
