1 John
Chapters 4:13-19
Revised Version 1885
13hereby know we that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
16And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him.
17Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.
18There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19We love, because he first loved us.
