1 John 4:11-16 (English Translation)

11 Beloved, if God loved us in this manner, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at
any time. If we love one another, God resides among us and his love is made complete among us. 13 By this
we know that we reside in him and he among us because he has given to us from his Spirit. 14 And we have
seen and are bearing testimony that the Father sent the Son, savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses, "The
Son of God is Jesus," God resides in him and he in God. 16 And we have come to know and have come to
believe this love which God has among us.
God is love, and the one who resides in this love resides in God and God resides in him.
