5. They are of the world: therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
6. We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God.
8. He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12. No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.
