By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
