7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love-not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.* Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.* 17 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. 18 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.
19 We love because he first loved us.* 20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother,* he is a liar.* For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen,* cannot love God, whom he has not seen.* 21 And he has given us this command:* Whoever loves God must also love his brother.*
