004:013 We can know that we are continuing in union with Him and that He
is continuing in union with us, by the fact that He has given
us a portion of His Spirit.
004:014 And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent
the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
004:015 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God—God continues
in union with him, and he continues in union with God.
004:016 And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him.
004:017 Our love will be manifested in all its perfection by our
having complete confidence on the day of the Judgement;
because just what He is, we also are in the world.
004:018 Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love drives away fear,
because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to fear,
there is something imperfect in his love.
004:019 We love because God first loved us.
004:020 If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
004:021 And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves God must love his brother man also.
005:001 Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.
