- And thus we can have confidence in him
that if we ask anything
that is in accordance with his will,
he hears us. - We have come to know
and to believe in
the love that God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever abides in love
abides in God,
and God in him. - Therefore, we love because he first loved us.
- However, if we confess our sins,
he who is faithful and just
will forgive our sins
and cleanse us from all wrongdoing. - In love there is no fear;
indeed, perfect love casts out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears
has not yet achieved perfection in love. - For everyone born of God
conquers the world.
And the victory that conquers the world
is our faith. - Dear children,
let us love not in word or speech
but in deed and truth. - And if we know that he hears us
in regard to whatever we ask him,
we may be sure
that all we ask of him will be ours. - And the world with all its enticements
is passing away,
but whoever does the will of God
abides forever. - God abides in anyone who acknowledges
that Jesus is the Son of God,
and that person abides in God.
