- And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
- So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. - We love because he first loved us.
- If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.
- For whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.
- See what love the Father has given 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.
- Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.
- Those who say, “I love God,” and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen.
- No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
This God—his way is perfect;
the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
