| DIVINE | Love.
ae te hath eternal life abiding in im.
16 in Hereby w “perceive_we the love of God, because He laid_down His life for us: and Wwe ought to_lay_down our lelives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this «world’s sgood, and seeth his -brother shave need, and -shutteth_up his ~bowels of compassion from him, how « dwelleth the love of_-God in him ?
18 My @ little_children, 'let_us not love in_word,. neither in_tongue; but in_ deed and in_truth.
19 And ‘hereby we_know that we_ are of the truth, and shall_assure our chearts before Him.
20 For if our heart condemn us, ~v -God is greater than_our ~heart, and knoweth all_things.
21 =Beloved, if our “heart condemn us not, then have_we confidence toward God.
2 And whatsoever we_ask, we_receiye fof Him, because we_keep His -com- mandments, and do those things_that_ are pleasing in His sight.
23 And this is His «commandment, “That we_should_believe on the name of_His -Son Jesus Christ, and love one_ another,’ eas He_gave us command- ment.
24 And -+he_that keepeth His -com- mandments « dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And ‘» hereby we_know that He_abideth in us, by the Spirit which He_-hath_given us.
4 =BELOVED, ‘believe not every
spirit, but 'try the spirits whether they_are of -God: because many false_ prophets ‘are_gone_out into the world.
2 hHereby 'know_ye the Spirit of_ -God : Every spirit that confesseth that J eos Christ is “come in the flesh is of -God:
8 And every spirit that confesseth not that -Jesus Christ ts “come in the flesh is not of -God: and this is -that spirit of_-antichrist, whereof ye_have_heard that it_'should_come; and even now already is_it in the world.
4 He are of ~God, @little_children, and have_overcome them : because greater is He_that_is in you, than he_that_is in the world.
5 Thep are of the world: therefore speak_they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 @He are of “God: he_that know- eth -God heareth us; he_that is not of -God heareth not us. Hereby know_ we the Spirit of_-truth, and the spirit of_-error.
7 =Beloved, 'let_us_love one_another : for -love is of «God; and every_one -ithat loveth ‘is_born of «God, and knoweth -God.
8 -1He_that loveth not *knoweth not -God; for ~God is love.
9h In this was_manifested the love of_
‘I-God toward us, because_that -God
‘sent His -only_begotten -Son into the world, that we_-might_live through Him.
10 Herein is -loye, not that we loved |"God, but that He loved us, and sent
His -Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 =Beloved, if “God so loved us, we oe
ought also to_love one_another. i. No_eman hath_seen God at_any_ ime. adwelleth in us, and His -love is “per- fected in us. 13 h Hereby know_we that we_> dwell
in Him, and He in us, because He_ hath_given us of His «Spirit.
h 14 And te have_seen and do-testify that the Father ‘sent the Son to be the $
Saviour of_the world.
15 Whosoever *shall_confess that Jesus is the Son of_-God, -God « dwelleth in him, and he in -God.
16 And wwe 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.
17 h Herein ha‘is our “love made_per- fect, that we_may_have boldness in the day of_-judgment : because cas He is, so are Wwe in this -world.
18 There_is no fear in love; but ~per- fect love casteth out -fear: because cfear hath torment. ,%-4He_that fear- eth “is not made_perfect in «love.
19 @He love Him, because He first loved us.
20 If«a_man ssay, “ I_love God,” and hateth his -brother, he_is a liar: for -she_that loveth not his brother whom he_hath_seen, how can_he love -God whom he_hath not seen ?
21 And this -commandment have_we from Him, “That -he_who loyeth -God love his brother also.”
e WHOSOEVER believeth that
Jesus is the Christ ‘is _born of “God: and every_one that loveth Him_that «begat lovyeth him also that “jis_begotten of Him.
2% By this we_know that we_love the children of_-God, when we_love -God, and keep His -commandments.
3 For this is the love of_-God, that we_keep His commandments: and His “commandments are not > grievous.
4 For whatsoever -“is_born of -God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that -overcometh the world, even our «faith.
5 Who is =he_that overcometh the world, but -he_that believeth that Jesus is the Son of_-God ?
6 This is He_that came th by water and blood, even Jesus -Christ ; not by -water only, but by water and ~blood. And it_is the Spirit -+that ¢beareth_ witness, because the Spirit is -truth.
7 For there_are three that /e bear_ record in cheayen, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these ethree are on one,
8 And there_are three that bear_ witness in -earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood : and these «three agree in on -one.
9 If we_receive the ‘es witness of_-men, the tes witness of_-God is greater: for this is the ‘eswitness of_-God which He_ hath_testified ¢ of “His Son.
10 -1He_that believeth ‘on the Son
of_ -God hath the tes witness in himself:

If we_love one_another, ~God| 18.
