- This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
- And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
- We love because He first loved us.
- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
- There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
- For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
- See what great love the Father has lavished on 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.
- If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
- The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
- Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
