1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves the one born of the Father.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,
4 for whoever is born of God overcomes the world, and the victory that overcomes the world is our faith.
