1 John 4:13-1913 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the
world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know
and rely on the love God has for us.God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In
this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in
love.19 We love because he first loved us.

1 John 3:14-1614 We know that we have passed from
death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in
death. 15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus
Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our
brothers and sisters.
