Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. ^6 [7↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-7) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God. ^7 [8↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-8-10) He that loves not knows not God; for God is love. ^8 [9↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-8-10) In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ^9 [10↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-8-10) Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son _to_ _be_ the propitiation for our sins. ^10 [11↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-11) Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. ^11 [12↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-12-14) No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. ^12 [13↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-12-14) Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. ^13 [14↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-12-14) And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son _to_ _be_ the Saviour of the world. ^14 [15↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-15-16) Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God. ^15 [16↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-15-16) And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. ^16 [17↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-17-18) Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ^17 [18↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-17-18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. ^18 [19↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-19-21) We love him, because he first loved us. ^19 [20↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-19-21) If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? ^20 [21↗](1%20John%204%20FSI.md#^1jn4-19-21) And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God love his brother also. ^21 Tags: #New_Testament #1John #Gods_love #FSI
