1 John 4:21-5:4 (New International Version)

²¹And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

1 John 5

Faith in the Son of God

 ¹Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. ²This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. ³This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, ⁴for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
