1 John 4:15-17

English Standard Version

^15 (A)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. ¹⁶ So ^(B)we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. ^(C)God is love, and ^(D)whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. ¹⁷ By this ^(E)is love perfected with us, so that ^(F)we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because ^(G)as he is so also are we in this world.
