6We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn`t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.
8He who doesn`t love doesn`t know God, for God is love.
9By this was God`s love revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.
10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11Beloved, if God loved us so, we also ought to love one another.
12No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
