NSB(i)
7 Beloved let us love one another, for love is from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not love does not know God for God is love.
9 The love of God was made known through us. God sent his only-begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (atonement) (sacrificial payment) for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time! If we love one another, God lives with us, and his love is perfected (accomplished) (matured) through us.
13 We know that we live with him and he with us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14 We see and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives with him, and he with God.
16 We know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love! He who continues with love lives with God and God lives with him.
17 This is love made perfect through us, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment. Just as he is, we are, amid (exposed to) this world.
18 There is no fear in love. Perfect (mature) love throws out (expels) fear because fear involves restraint (punishment). He who fears is not made perfect (mature) (complete) through love.
19 We love, because he first loved us.
20 If a man says, I love God, yet he hates his brother, he is a liar! He who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21 We have this commandment from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.
