⁶ But we ·belong to [are from] God, and those who know God ·listen to [hear; obey] us. But those who are not from God do not ·listen to [hear; obey] us. That is how we ·know [recognize] the Spirit that is true and the spirit that ·is false [deceives; errs].

Love Comes from God

⁷ ·Dear friends [^LBeloved], ·we should [let us] love each other, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has ·become God’s child [^Lbeen begotten/fathered by God] and knows God. ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
