1 John 4 Cross References - Godbey

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits if they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God: ³ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, which you have heard that he is coming; and now he is already in the world. ⁴ You are of God, little children, and you have conquered them; because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. ⁵ They are of the world: on this account they speak of the world, and the world hears them. ⁶ We are of God: the one knowing God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. ⁷ Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God. ⁸ The one not loving with divine love does not know God; because God is divine love. ⁹ In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him. ¹⁰ In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love. ¹² No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us. ¹³ In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent forth his Son the Saviour of the world. ¹⁵ Whosoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, in him God abides, and he in God. ¹⁶ And we have known and we have believed the divine love which God has in us. God is divine love; and the one abiding in divine love abides in God, and God abides in him. ¹⁷ In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸ There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love. ¹⁹ Let us love with divine love, because he himself first loved us with divine love. ²⁰ If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love. ²¹ And we have this precept from him, that the one loving God with divine love also loves his brother with divine love.

There is no other commandment greater than these. ³² And the scribes said to Him, Truly, Teacher; thou hast spoken in truth that He is One; and there is no other besides Him. ³³ And love Him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to love thy neighbor as thyself is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And of His fullness we all received grace upon grace. ¹⁷ Because the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, the one being in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared him.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one believing on Him may not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not His Son into the world that He may condemn the world; but that the world through Him may be saved. ¹⁸ He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, has already been condemned, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

²⁰ In that day you shall know that I am in the Father, you in me, and I in you. ²¹ The one having my commandments, and keeping them, he is the one loving me with divine love: the one loving me with divine love, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself unto him.

²¹ The one having my commandments, and keeping them, he is the one loving me with divine love: the one loving me with divine love, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself unto him. ²² Judas. (not Iscariot), says to Him, Lord, and how is it that you are about to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?

²² Judas. (not Iscariot), says to Him, Lord, and how is it that you are about to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus responded and said to him; If any one may love me with divine love, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our mansion with him.

²³ Jesus responded and said to him; If any one may love me with divine love, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our mansion with him. ²⁴ The one not loving me with divine love does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me. ²⁵ I have spoken these things to you, abiding with you: ²⁶ but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things, which I spoke to you.

³⁰ I shall no longer speak many things with you, because the prince of the world comes: and he has nothing in me;

¹² This is my commandment, that you may love one another, as I loved you.

¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you, and placed you in your position, that you may go forth and bear fruit, and your fruit may abide: in order that He may give you whatsoever you may ask in my name.

¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

²⁰ Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

²⁶ When the Comforter, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, may come, He will witness concerning me,

²⁶ When the Comforter, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, may come, He will witness concerning me, ²⁷ but you indeed are witnesses, because you are with me from the beginning.

¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

¹³ But when He, the Spirit of truth, may come, He will guide you in all truth: for He will not speak from Himself; but so many things as He hears, He will speak: and will proclaim to you the things which are coming.

³ But this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou didst send.

²³ I in them, and thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love me.

³⁷ Then Pilate said to Him, Then, art thou not a king? Jesus responded, Thou says that I am king. Unto this I was born, and unto this I have come into the world, in order that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice.

²¹ And Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, I also send you.

¹¹ but these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all enthusiasm, searching the scriptures daily, if these things are so.

⁵ And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was straitened with the word, witnessing to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

²⁹ I know, that after my departure grievous wolves will rise up against you, not sparing the flock;

¹ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God,

²⁵ whom God sent forth an expiation through faith in his blood, unto the manifestation of His righteousness through the remission of the sins which are passed, ²⁶ in the forbearance of God; unto the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, so that he is just, and justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

⁸ And God commends his love to us, because, we being yet sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ How much more then, having now been justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life:

⁹ But ye are not in depravity, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. ¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.

¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.

¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you. ¹² Then therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to depravity, to live according to depravity. ¹³ For if you live according to depravity, you are about to die: but if through the Spirit you kill the practices of the body, you shall live. ¹⁴ For so many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. ¹⁵ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father.

¹⁵ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father. ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself witnesses along with our spirit, that we are the children of God. ¹⁷ And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

²⁹ Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

²⁹ Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren: ³⁰ and whom He did foreknow, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them He also glorified. ³¹ Then what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² Indeed he who spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with him, freely give us all things?

³⁷ But in all these we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

⁹ That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:

⁸ as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

⁹ Let love be free from hypocrisy. Abhorring the evil, cleaving to the good: ¹⁰ kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

⁹ For, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is fulfilled in this word, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself with divine love. ¹⁰ Divine love works no evil to its neighbor: for divine love is the fulfilling of the law.

¹⁸ For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach; and through fair speeches and eulogies deceive the hearts of the innocent. ¹⁹ For your obedience has come abroad unto all men: therefore I rejoice over you, and wish you to be wise in that which is good, and uncompromising towards that which is evil.

⁹ But, as has been written, the things which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and has not entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

¹² But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; in order that we may know the things which have been graciously given unto us from God.

¹² But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; in order that we may know the things which have been graciously given unto us from God. ¹³ Which things indeed we speak, not in the teachable words of human wisdom, but in the teachable words of the Spirit, expounding spiritual things to spiritual people. ¹⁴ But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.

¹³ Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats: but God will destroy both this and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? and you are not your own;

³ Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is anathema; and no one is able to say; Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

¹⁰ and to another the workings of dynamites; and to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues:

¹³ But now abide faith, hope, divine love, these three; but the greatest of these is divine love.

²⁹ But let two or three prophets speak, and let the others give audience;

³⁷ If any one seems to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him understand the things which I write to you, that they are of the Lord;

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them.

⁶ Because God is the one, having said; Out of the darkness the light shall shine, which shone in our hearts, to the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us; having judged this, that one died for all; then were all dead; ¹⁵ and he died for all, in order that those living may not live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and is risen.

¹⁹ as that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their transgressions to them, even having placed in us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore we are embassadors in behalf of Christ, as God is intreating you through us; we pray you in behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ He made him sin in our behalf, who knew no sin; in order that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

¹⁶ And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

⁸ I speak not according to commandment, but through the zeal of others also proving the sincerity of your divine love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be made rich.

⁷ Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If any has trusted to himself that he belongs to Christ, let him again consider this in reference to himself, that as he belongs to Christ, so do we also.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect; be of good comfort; think the same thing, live in peace: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

⁹ but now having known God, and rather having become known of God, how do you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements which you wish to serve again as formerly?

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails anything; but faith working through divine love.

¹⁴ For the whole law has been fulfilled in one word, in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor with divine love as thyself.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is divine love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, holiness; against such things there is no law. ²⁴ But those belonging to Christ Jesus have crucified carnality with the passions and lusts. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

² in which at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience; ³ among whom we all indeed at one time lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by nature the children of wrath, like the rest also: ⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved,

²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, ²¹ in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and blasphemy, depart from you, with all evil.

¹⁰ Finally, be filled up with dynamite in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹² because there is not to us fighting against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the heavenlies. ¹³ Therefore take the panoply of God, that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all things, to stand.

¹¹ and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.

³ For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God: ⁴ when Christ, your life, may appear, then will you also appear with him in glory.

¹³ forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any one may have a quarrel against any one; as Christ also forgave you, so indeed do you likewise:

⁹ But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I write to you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another with divine love;

⁹ But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I write to you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another with divine love; ¹⁰ for you indeed are doing the same thing unto all the brethren in all Macedonia. And we exhort you, brethren, that you abound more and more;

²¹ but prove all things; and hold fast to the beautiful;

⁸ in the fire of flame, dispensing vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

³ Let no one deceive you in any way: because unless there may first be an apostasy and the man of lawlessness may be revealed, the son of perdition, ⁴ the one opposing and exalting himself above everything that is called God or divinity; so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself off that he is God. ⁵ Do you not remember that still being with you, I told you these things? ⁶ And now you know that which hinders, that he should be revealed in his time. ⁷ For already the mystery of lawlessness is working: only there is one now hindering, until he may be taken out of the midst; ⁸ then indeed will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will remove by the spirit of his mouth, and will exterminate by the brightness of his coming; ⁹ whose coming is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And on this account God sends to them the working of delusion, that they should believe a lie:

¹⁷ But to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only God, be honor and glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

¹⁶ And assuredly great is the mystery of godliness; Who is manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen of angels, was preached among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

¹ But the Spirit says positively, that in the last times certain ones will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and to the teachings of demons,

¹⁶ he alone having immortality, inhabiting light unapproachable; whom no one of men has seen, or is able to see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.

⁷ For God has not given us the spirit of cowardice; but of power and divine love and prudence.

¹³ But wicked men and seducers will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

³ For the time will come when they will not endure healthy teaching; but according to their own lusts they will heap to themselves teachers itching as to their hearing;

³ For when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another; ⁴ but when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour appeared, ⁵ not from works which are in righteousness, which we did, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewal of the Holy Ghost,

⁵ For to which one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me a Son?

²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he went out, as seeing the invisible one.

² looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider him who has endured so great a contradiction of sinners against himself, in order that you may not become weary, fainting in your souls.

²⁸ Therefore receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and fear: ²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

¹³ For judgment is without mercy to him that shows no mercy; but mercy glorieth against judgment.

¹⁹ Do you believe that there is one God? you do well: the demons also believe and tremble.

²² You see that faith wrought with his works, and by works the faith was made perfect;

⁸ whom you not seeing, love with divine love; on whom, not looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

²² Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love:

²⁴ who himself has borne our sins in his own body on the wood, in order that we, being made free from sins, may live unto righteousness: by whose stripe you are healed.

⁸ And finally, all being like-minded, sympathetic, loving the brethren, merciful, humble:

¹⁶ having a good conscience, in order that, in whatsoever you are calumniated, those traducing your good deportment in Christ may be ashamed. ¹⁷ For it is better, doing good, if the will of the Lord should will it, to suffer, rather than doing evil. ¹⁸ Because Christ indeed once died for our sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, indeed being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in spirit:

¹⁸ Because Christ indeed once died for our sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, indeed being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in spirit:

¹ Therefore Christ having suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind: because the one having suffered in carnality has ceased from sin; ² that he may no longer live the remaining time in carnality according to the lusts of men, but in the will of God. ³ For the past time is sufficient to have wrought the will of the heathens, walking in impurities, in lusts, in wine-drinkings, in revelries, in intemperance, and in unlawful idolatries:

⁸ before all things having divine love stedfast toward one another; because divine love covers a multitude of sins:

¹³ but as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; in order that you may also rejoice in the revelation of his glory, being glad. ¹⁴ If you suffer reproach in the name of Christ, happy are you, because the spirit of the glory and the spirit of God rest on you.

¹² Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I consider, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and witnessing that this same grace of God is true in which you may stand.

¹ However there were indeed false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you, whosoever shall bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. ² And many will follow their impurities; through whom the way of truth will be slandered: ³ and in their covetousness they will sell you with their soft speeches: unto whom judgment from olden time tarries not, and their destruction does not slumber.

⁹ for the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations, and to keep the unrighteous unto the day of judgment enduring punishment:

² to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles:

⁷ but now the heavens and the earth have been kept according to the same word, being reserved for fire in the day of judgment and the destruction of the ungodly people.

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have beheld, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of the life; ² and the life was made manifest, and we have seen, and we testify, and we proclaim to you the life which is eternal, which was with the Father, and has been made manifest unto us; ³ that which we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, in order that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is indeed with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁵ And the same message which we have heard from him, we also proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness. ⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

¹ My little children, I write these things to you, in order that you may not sin. And if any one may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: ² he is the expiator for our sins: and not ours only, but indeed for the whole world.

² he is the expiator for our sins: and not ours only, but indeed for the whole world.

⁴ The one saying, I have known him, and keeping not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; ⁵ but whosoever shall keep his word, truly the divine love of God has been made perfect in him. In this we know that we are in him.

⁹ The one saying that he is in the light, and hating his brother, is in the darkness until now. ¹⁰ The one loving his brother with divine love abides in the light, and there is no stumbling in him. ¹¹ But the one hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and does not know whither he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have conquered the wicked one. I have written unto you, little children, because you have known the Father.

¹⁸ Little children, it is the last hour: and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, from which we know that it is the last hour.

²² Who is a liar except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. ²³ No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him; in order that, if he may appear, we may have boldness, and not shrink with embarrassment from him in his presence. ²⁹ If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.

¹ Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God; and we are. And on this account the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

³ Indeed every one having this hope on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

⁶ No one abiding in him is sinning: every one sinning does not see him, nor know him.

⁹ Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God. ¹⁰ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: every one not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother with divine love.

¹⁰ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: every one not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother with divine love. ¹¹ Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must love one another,

¹¹ Because this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must love one another, ¹² not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother; and on account of what did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and those of his brother righteous. ¹³ And be not astonished, brother, if the world hates you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of the death into the life, because we love the brethren with divine love; the one loving not with divine love, abides in the death.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of the death into the life, because we love the brethren with divine love; the one loving not with divine love, abides in the death. ¹⁵ Every one hating his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in himself. ¹⁶ In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁶ In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁶ In this we know the divine love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ Whosoever may have the sustenance of the world, and see his brother having need, and shut up his sympathies from him, how dwells the divine love of God in him?

¹⁷ Whosoever may have the sustenance of the world, and see his brother having need, and shut up his sympathies from him, how dwells the divine love of God in him?

¹⁷ Whosoever may have the sustenance of the world, and see his brother having need, and shut up his sympathies from him, how dwells the divine love of God in him? ¹⁸ Little children, let us love with divine love not in word, nor in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

¹⁸ Little children, let us love with divine love not in word, nor in tongue; but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him;

¹⁹ And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our hearts before him; ²⁰ because if our heart may condemn us, it is because God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things.

²⁰ because if our heart may condemn us, it is because God is greater than our heart, and he knows all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God:

²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God: ²² and whatsoever we may ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things pleasing before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment. ²⁴ And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits if they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ² In this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God: ³ and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist, which you have heard that he is coming; and now he is already in the world. ⁴ You are of God, little children, and you have conquered them; because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

⁶ We are of God: the one knowing God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. ⁷ Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God. ⁸ The one not loving with divine love does not know God; because God is divine love.

⁸ The one not loving with divine love does not know God; because God is divine love.

⁸ The one not loving with divine love does not know God; because God is divine love. ⁹ In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

⁹ In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him. ¹⁰ In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins.

¹⁰ In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love. ¹² No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.

¹² No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us. ¹³ In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit.

¹³ In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit.

¹⁵ Whosoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, in him God abides, and he in God. ¹⁶ And we have known and we have believed the divine love which God has in us. God is divine love; and the one abiding in divine love abides in God, and God abides in him.

¹⁶ And we have known and we have believed the divine love which God has in us. God is divine love; and the one abiding in divine love abides in God, and God abides in him. ¹⁷ In this the divine love has been made perfect in us, that we may have boldness in the day of the judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. ¹⁸ There is no fear in divine love; but perfect divine love casts out the fear: because the fear has torment; and the one fearing has not been made perfect in the divine love. ¹⁹ Let us love with divine love, because he himself first loved us with divine love. ²⁰ If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love.

²⁰ If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love.

¹ Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

⁴ because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith. ⁵ Who is the one conquering the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.

⁷ Because many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh; the same is the deceiver and the antichrist.

¹⁷ But you, beloved, remember the words which have hitherto been spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

² I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and that you are not able to bear the wicked; and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them to be liars:

⁹ And the great dragon, the old serpent, the one called the devil, and Satan, the one deceiving the whole world, was cast out: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹¹ And they conquered him through the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony; and with divine love they love not their life unto death.
