He not loving knows not God; for God is love.
And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love; and he remaining in love remains in God, and God in him.
And thou, O Jehovah, art a God compassionate and merciful, and slow to anger and great of mercy and truth.
Dearly beloved, we should love one another: for love is of God; and every one loving has been born of God, and knows God.
As to the rest, brethren, rejoice. Be adjusted, be comforted, think the same, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall with you.
For thou, O Jehovah, art good and forgiving, and great of mercy to all calling to thee.
But God, being rich in mercy, by his much love which he loved us,
And this is the message which we have heard from him, and we announce to you, that God is light, and no darkness is in him.
Every one remaining in him sins not: every one sinning has not seen him, nor known him.
He saying he is in the light, and hating his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
He saying, I have known him, and not keeping his commands, is a liar, and in him is not the truth.
For also our God is a consuming fire.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the accuser: every one not doing justice is not of God, and he not loving his brother.
