And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We love him, because he first loved us.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
