By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.
Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?
No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.
