1 John 4:12-19 (Epistle, Apostle)
12 |
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. |
13 |
By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. |
14 |
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. |
15 |
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. |
16 |
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. |
17 |
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. |
18 |
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. |
19 |
We love Him because He first loved us. |
