There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment.
He who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us.
If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar;
for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
