Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Love manifests itself in love for others.
We love because he first loved us. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
