1 John 4:11-16

111BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 us, 2we alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240. 123NoG3762 oneG3762 has everG4455 seenG2300 GodG2316; ifG1437 we loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, GodG2316 remainsG3306 in us, and His 4loveG26 is perfectedG5048 in us. 135By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we remainG3306 in Him and He in us, becauseG3754 He has givenG1325 to us of His SpiritG4151. 14We have seenG2300 and 6testifyG3140 that the FatherG3962 has 7sentG649 the SonG5207 to be the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.

158WhoeverG3739G1437 confessesG3670 that 9JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 10remainsG3306 in him, and he in GodG2316. 1611We have comeG1097 to knowG1097 and have believedG4100 the loveG26 whichG3739 GodG2316 hasG2192 1213for us. 14GodG2316 is loveG26, and the one who 15remainsG3306 in loveG26 remainsG3306 in GodG2316, and GodG2316 remainsG3306 in him.
